Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Pecan Coffee Cake Delight.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray and place it on a baking sheet lined with foil to catch any drips.

   In a bowl, rehydrate the dried cranberries by covering them with boiling water. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, then drain well and set aside.

   In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.

   Gently fold in the rehydrated cranberries and chopped pecans into the batter.

6. Step 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly.
