Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar with the butter until light & fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at time. Beat in the sour cream & then the liqueur, vanilla & orange peel. Combine the all-purpose flour & cake flour with the salt. With the mixer on slow speed, add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture & stop when all of the flour has been added. Mix by hand until just combined. Fold in the pecans & cranberries. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap pan on counter to release any air bubbles. Bake until tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cake in pan for about 10 minutes. Turn out onto rack & cool completely.
