Cranberry Coffee Cake

2 cups chopped cranberries
1 cup chopped pecans
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract


Preheat Oven to 350 F. In a greased 10-inch pie plate, combine the cranberries, pecans, and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Stir gently to mix well. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, melted butter, remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla. Stir the batter until it is smooth and all the flour is mixed in. Pour the batter over the cranberry mixture and stir gently with a spoon to partly incorporate the top and bottom layers. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until done.

Serves 8 to 10.
