How to Make Maple Pecan Cranberry Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons pure maple extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
  7. In a small bowl, gently warm ½ cup cranberry sauce (to soften it).
  8. Fold the cranberry sauce into the batter, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup chopped pecans into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
  10. Pour half of the batter over the pecans in the pan.
  11. Pour the remaining batter over the first layer. Gently swirl with a knife or toothpick to create a marbled design.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
