– 1 box (about 432 grams) of white or yellow cake mix
– 1 cup (240 ml) water
– 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
– 3 eggs
– 3/4 cup (approximately 200 grams) whole berry cranberry sauce
– 8-ounce (227 grams) package of cream cheese
– 1/2 cup (115 grams) softened butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your greased baking dish with the pecans at the bottom.
2-Mix the cake batter by combining the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a bowl until well blended.
3-Pour the batter over the pecans in the dish, then add swirls of 3/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce on top.
4-In another bowl, blend the cream cheese, softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to make the cream cheese mixture, then dollop it over the batter.
5-Swirl the cranberry sauce and cream cheese mixture into the batter gently with a knife for that chaotic, festive look.
6-Bake in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes until the cake is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
7-Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes to make slicing easier and help it set properly.
