Step 2: In a bowl beat cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs; beat for 3 minutes.
Step 3: In a bowl combine 2 cups flour with baking powder and salt (and if using, the cinnamon and nutmeg) gradually add to butter mixture mixing until just blended. Mix remaining 1/4 cup flour with cranberries and nuts; fold into the batter (batter will be very thick). Spoon into pan.
Step 4: Bake at for 50 minutes or until cake tests done. Let stand 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool on a wire rack. Before serving. Cool then dust with confectioners' sugar or drizzle with glaze.
