DELICIOUS CRANBERRY CAKE



Delicious Cranberry Cake image

We eat this colorful, moist cake at our women's church meetings. It's really easy to make and very tasty. The almond flavoring really blends well with the cranberries. I buy bags of cranberries when there are sales during the holidays, then freeze some so I can enjoy this treat all year round. For those with hard nut allergies, leave them out, or try sunflower seeds or peanuts. Vanilla extract can be substituted for almond extract.
