Directions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.

-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined.
-
Add Flavor: Stir in the almond extract to enhance the flavors of the batter.
-
Layer Batter and Cranberry Sauce: Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Spoon half of the cranberry sauce evenly over the batter. Then, pour the remaining batter over the cranberry sauce layer. Finish by spreading the remaining cranberry sauce on top.
-
Add Pecans: Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top of the cake batter and cranberry sauce.
-
Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare Glaze: While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and water until smooth.
-
Finish: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack or serving plate. While the cake is still warm, spread or drizzle the glaze over the top.
-
Serve: Slice and serve the Cranberry Coffee Cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat!
