I asked my friend for this recipe after eating it at her house. Everyone loved it, which explains why it was gobbled up within an hour! It's pretty simple to put together and it comes out moist and delicious every time. I've never tried to bake this in a bundt pan but I bet it would work. I hope you enjoy!

SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup chopped almonds

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1
With a mixer, using a large bowl, cream the butter.

Gradually add sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
3
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
6
Alternate mixing in the flour mixture and sour cream until all blended together.

Made for Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #28. I chose this recipe because we love cranberries ~ however, I didn't make it with cranberries because my freezer gave out and I had a whole bag of frozen raspberries that needed to be used ~ so I put sugar on them and let them sit in the refrigerator over night, mashed them a little bit and used them in place of the cranberries. Needless to say, this was wonderful and I can't wait to try it with the cranberry sauce! Thanks for posting this LifeisGood!

I love cranberries and enjoyed this coffeecake. Great flavor, nice glaze, and went well with my morning coffee. Like NurseJaney mentioned in her review I would add more of the cranberry sauce when I make this again. Thank you for sharing LifeIsGood! Made and reviewed for the Australian/NewZealand Forums Recipe Swap #26.

*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #26* I feared there was not enough flour, but was a perfct consistency — very light and moist. I used the grocer-brand of cranberrys, which was a mistake — this deserves the best quality. Did not add the nuts - personal preference. next time I will add MORE of the cranberry sauce and maybe some dried Craisins. Thanks for posting, LIG.

Made this especially for my other half to share at work, but did cut out several pieces to keep at home! Rather than chopping I used sliced almonds! Loved the use of the cranberry sauce here & another time might just drain my own homemade sauce of a lot of it's liquid & then use it! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
