Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter (2 1/2 sticks), room temperature
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/2 cup ground blanched almonds
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped
1 3/4 cups sifted unbleached all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup dried cranberries or currants
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Using electric mixer, beat butter and 3/4 cup sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Add yolks and egg 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in almonds and vanilla.
  • Mix fresh cranberries and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in small bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Combine flour and spice in medium bowl.

Bake until top of cake is golden and dry and center of cake is firm, about 55 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely.
  • To serve, sift powdered sugar over top of cake. Remove rim from pan and transfer cake to platter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • For a moister cake, use buttermilk instead of milk.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
