  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
  2. Grease and flour a 9 or 10-inch tube pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time.  Stir in the almond extract.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients.  Stir into the creamed mixture, alternating with the sour cream.
  6. Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared tube pan. Swirl half the cranberry sauce into the batter. Repeat process, ending with batter on top.

This sounds delicious. My kids live cranberries and coffee cake. Can you use vanilla extract rather than almond or would that ruin it?

This looks so good! I make a wicked cranberry cider that this would go great with. Thanks!
