This cake is often enjoyed during holiday gatherings, particularly around Thanksgiving and Christmas, where cranberries are in season.

3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

3

Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Use a hand mixer to mix until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Pour the cake batter over the pecans in the baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

8

In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

9

Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar while mixing on low until smooth and creamy.

10

Scoop the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter and try to spread it out.
