Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 3 Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Dried cranberries
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously butter and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan or use a non-stick baking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the pure maple syrup, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid over-mixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped pecans using a spatula to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly and lightly tapping the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15-20 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a serving plate and let it cool completely.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.
