·   1 tsp baking soda
·   1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease and wrap a 9 inch spring form pan in foil to prevent leaking. Sift together the baking soda, baking power, cinnamon, flour, and salt and set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring the brown sugar and 1/3 cup of butter to a boil. Immediately remove and pour in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the cranberries and pecans over the sugar mixture. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and ¾ cup of sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Then stir in the vanilla, and beat in the dry ingredients mixture alternating with the sour cream. When the batter is fully mixed, pour it into the pan. Bake for about 60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool before cutting and serving.
