Time 55m

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 sliced almonds
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



Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake image

I made this delicious coffee cake a week after receiving my Dec/Jan 2007 TOH magazine. We loved it, so much that I made another the next week and used dried cherries. I had to use the other half of the almond paste. There is also a recipe for almond paste I will post with this recipe. I never made it, not sure how it is, sounds...

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark roast coffee in the cake batter.

  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
