Sour cream coffee cake with...cranberries!

Isn't this a pretty cake?

I have a new work schedule these days but my sleeping clock hasn't adjusted quite yet...so I'm up early on a Saturday morning. What to do, but bake? It's much preferred to doing laundry.

Sour cream coffee cake with cranberries

1 cup butter

1 cup sour cream

1 1/4 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla (optional)

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup cranberry sauce

Let your butter soften from the refrig - I like to take out all of the cold ingredients about 1-2 hours before I bake. Beat your wet ingredients and add the dry. Beat to combine, then turn out 1/2 mixture into a greased bundt pan (I find nonstick works best). Spread your cranberries over the mixture and cover with remaining batter.

This cake bakes at 350 degrees for 1 hour. I like it for breakfast. It's also good for snacking. I typically don't discriminate. Mmmm...
