**Cranberry Pecan Bundt Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
– 1/2 cup chopped pecans
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the cranberries and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar or drizzle it with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk for a finishing touch.
