Cranberry Pake (Pie+Cake)
Crust: Prepare your favorite pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place in pan, flute edges, and leave unbaked.

Cranberry Layer:
  • 2 cups fresh whole cranberries, rinsed and drained **
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
Mix all ingredients and place in unbaked crust.

Cake Layer:
  • ¾ cup softened butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour and mix thoroughly. Dollop the mixture by spoonfuls over the cranberry layer and smooth the top with a spatula.

Place the pake on a baking sheet to catch drips while baking. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees or until the top is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

**My friend uses the whole package of cranberries, I use about 3 cups.
