Janice's Cranberry Pecan Poundcake


Butter and flour a 2.5 quart bundt pan (or 2 8.5"x4.5" loaf pans or 15 miniloaf pans). Beat sugar and butter until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in sour cream, liquor, vanilla and orange peel. On low speed, add flour until just combined. Stir in pecans and cranberries. Pour into pans. Tap on counter to remove air bubbles. Bake at 350F until tester comes out clean. (About 1 hour for bundt pan, 45 minutes for loaf pans and 25 minutes for mini loaf pans.) Cool 10 minutes and remove cake from pan. Cool on rack. When cool, wrap in plastic. This cake freezes well.
