Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl. Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout. Spread in a buttered 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting. Small pieces, about 1 x 2 inches, are easy to serve at a party.

CHRISTMAS CRANBERRY ALMOND COFFEE CAKE
This is a sweet/tart coffee cake with holiday spices. I like to make this the night before a holiday for breakfast, this way I can start cooking holiday dinner and still have something to eat. This is based off the original recipe #147253, but I have made enough changes it has turn in to a new item, with new flavors. This calls for only 2 cups cranberries, either fresh OR frozen.

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.

- 4. Stir in the flour in three increments as not to create a flour cloud and stir into the wet mixture until just incorporated: do not over mix.

- 7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top becomes a nice even lite golden brown or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into the cake. Cut into 1" x 2" pieces....Enjoy!!
- 8. Notes: At Christmas you can add a bit of orange zest to the batter to make it more festive. Add the zest in step 3.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with sugar.
- Use fresh cranberries for optimal flavor and texture in the cranberry sauce.
- If you prefer a smoother cake batter, blend the nuts and dried fruit until finely chopped.
- To achieve a moist cake, do not overmix the batter once the flour has been added.

- To prevent the cake from drying out, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
