Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch fluted tube pan or bundt pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, beat sugar and softened butter together until light and creamy. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Add sour cream, eggs, and 1 teaspoon almond extract to the sugar mixture; beat until smooth. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Gently spoon half of the cranberry sauce over the batter, spreading evenly. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Pour another 1/3 of the batter over the cranberry sauce, then spread the remaining cranberry sauce over the batter. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Top with the remaining 1/3 of the cake batter. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (45 minutes)

11

Step

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

12

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon almond extract. Gradually add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the icing reaches a drizzling consistency. (5 minutes)

13

Step

Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake. Let the icing set before serving. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before using.
If you don't have almond extract, you can substitute vanilla extract or lemon extract.
To prevent the cranberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
