Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup sour cream
– 2 cups fresh cranberries
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Directions:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a bundt pan by greasing and flouring it. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until you get a light, fluffy texture. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture and sour cream to the butter and sugar, mixing just until everything is combined. Gently fold in the cranberries and, if you like, the nuts. Pour this delightful batter into your prepared pan. Bake it for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Once done, let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the festive flavors!
