Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups fresh cranberries or 2 cups frozen cranberries

1/2 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C). Grease one 9 inch pie pan.
  • Combine flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, clove. Mix well. Stir in cranberries and the almonds and toss to coat. Or add almonds and put berries in bottom of pie pan. Stir in butter, eggs and extracts. Spread into pie pan.
  • For topping: mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, almonds. Press in soft butter until you get a crumble mixture. Put on top of batter.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick inserted near center to come out clean. Serve warm or cold. Heats up nicely in microwave for a few seconds.
  • P.S. Frozen berries last one year. Make sure to pick through your frozen berries before using. The more wrinkles on a frozen berry the older it is. The batter will be a little thicker if you use frozen cranberries. It is easier to see the bad berries if you unfreeze them in warm water.

Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake image

Here's what you do. While the leftovers are being dealt with Thursday night, scoop out a cup or so of cranberry sauce and put it in a special spot in the fridge. Sunday morning, make the following coffeecake. You'll have it on hand to serve holiday-weekend visitors, or the straggling remnants of your visiting family. At last -- an almost guilt-free solution to residual cranberry sauce! The glaze is, of course, optional.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter
1 cup Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking
2 large eggs
1 cup fat-free buttermilk or 1 cup yogurt
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cranberry sauce (whole berry is preferable)
1/2 cup blanched slivered almond, toasted
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream together margarine or butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, buttermilk or yogurt, and almond extract. In a separate bowl, mix together baking powder, baking soda, flour and salt. Add all at once to the wet ingredients, stirring just to blend.
  • Grease and flour a tube pan. Spoon half of batter into pan. Spread half of cranberry sauce evenly atop batter, then spread remaining batter over that. Top with remaining cranberry sauce, and sprinkle toasted almonds evenly over sauce.
  • Bake coffeecake in a preheated 350°F oven for 55 minutes, or until cake tests done. Remove from oven, and cool in pan for 5 minutes. While cake is cooling, make glaze by mixing the confectioners' sugar, milk and almond extract. Turn cake out of pan, and dribble glaze over warm cake. Let cake cool completely before serving (or serve it warm, if you don't mind it crumbling a bit!).

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
