For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping. If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter. A glaze made with powdered sugar and a splash of lemon juice or orange juice can be drizzled over the cooled cake for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor. Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
