Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in pumpkin and orange peel (mixture will appear curdled). Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder; add to pumpkin mixture just until moistened. Fold in walnuts and cranberries.
