Cranberry Cake

This morning before church, my domesticated self, whipped up Cranberry Cake. This was a first time recipe for me to prepare, although my mom has been making it since we moved south of the Mason Dixon.


Cranberry Cake
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup softened butter
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 & 1/2 cups cranberries
1 cup chopped pecans
almonds

Beat eggs with sugar for 5 minutes.
Add butter and extracts.
Stir in flour, then cranberries and pecans. Today I used walnuts. Also we use a whole bag of cranberries - no sense in saving leftover berries to rot in the fridge.
Top with slivered almonds.
Bake at 350 for 55 minutes - 1 hour.

    YUM! I saw cranberries at Trader Joes for a really good price. I bought them for Charlotte and pureed them to mix in with her yogurts, but next time I'm going to get an extra bag to make this for us. YUM!

    That's a great idea for yogurts! You can freeze the berries in the bag too. My mom usually stocks up after Christmas time. They keep really well!
