Ingredients

  • 1  package 2-layer-size white or yellow cake mix
  • 2  eggs
  • 1/2  cup butter, melted
  • 1  tablespoon finely shredded orange peel
  • 1  firm pear, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1  cup fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
  • 1/2  cup chopped pecans

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; set aside.
