Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the cranberries.
Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle half of the walnut topping over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top and finish with the remaining walnut topping.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
