15 50 65

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup sliced almonds
GLAZE:
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. 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 to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream.
Spread half of the batter into a greased 10-in. tube pan; top with half of the cranberry sauce. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with almonds. 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.
In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over coffee cake. Yield: 10-12 servings.
