Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
2 c sugar
3/4 c butter, softened
1 tsp almond extract
2 c all purpose flour
12 oz fresh cranberries
I ADDED FINELY CHOPPED ALMONDS ~ ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 CUP TO TASTE

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13"x9" pan.
  • 2. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes.
  • 3. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, SO DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.
  • 4. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl. Add the butter, vanilla; mix two more minutes.
  • 5. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add the cranberries and chopped almonds and stir to mix throughout.
  • 6. Spread in a buttered 13"x9" pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. (I baked mine 40 minutes.)
  • 7. Let cool completely before cutting into small slices. I cut mine into fairly small pieces, about 1"x2", so that they could be easily eaten at a party or Holiday get-together . Enjoy!
