Cranberries are an important crop in New England. This recipe produces a beautiful and delicious cake. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts |
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce |
glaze: |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons milk |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in almond extract. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition.
2. Sprinkle the walnuts into a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Spread half of the batter over nuts; top with half of the cranberry sauce. Repeat layers.
3. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over coffee cake. Yield: 12-16 servings.
