Almond filling – 1/3 c. sugar – 3 eggs – 1 tsp. vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp. almond extract Dry Ingredients: – 1 1/3 c. flour – 1 tsp. baking powder – 1/2 tsp. salt Fold In: – 2 c. fresh cranberries, rinsed and halved Almond Glaze: – 1 c. powdered sugar – 1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. milk – 1/4 tsp. almond extract

INGREDIENTS

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" spring form pan with non-stick baking spray. Set prepared pan aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the wet ingredients. Start with the softened butter and sugar, and add in the almond filling. Using a large whisk, hand or stand mixer, beat together until smooth. Add in the eggs, vanilla and almond extracts. Continue to beat together until mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Step 3

Gradually add in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients. Batter will be thick, but smooth. Lastly, fold in the halved cranberries with a rubber scraper or wooden spoon.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread evenly to the sides of the pan. Bake a 350 degrees for 37-40 minute. Top of cake will be golden brown. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean and crumb-free, the coffee cake is done.

Step 5

Remove cake from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before glazing.

Step 6

For glaze: in a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk and almond extract. Mixture will be slightly thick, yet can be drizzled with spoon. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Enjoy!
