Walnut Cranberry Coffee Cake

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 teaspoon Spice Islands® pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Directions

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture.
• Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, cranberry sauce, orange peel and cinnamon; spoon over batter. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Yield: 12 servings.
