How to Make The Most AMAZING Cranberry Cake Dessert

This dessert looks gorgeous but is super easy. I will post a picture asap! It is rich almond flavor with refershing cranberry walnut topping. Amazing! People won't believe you made it at home!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 Cups Fresh Cranberries
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Walnuts - Chopped
• 1 Cup Flour
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 3/4 Cup Butter
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tsp Almond Extract
• Deep dish pie pan

1. Make the Cranberry Topping: Mix 2 cups fresh cranberries (chopped) 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped) - mix well and spread on the bottom of a VERY WELL greased pie pan.

2. Make the cake: Combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup butter (melted), 2 eggs, 2 tsp almond extract. Mix well spread over the cranberry mixture that has been spread in the bottom of the pie pan. So the layers will be cranberry mixture on the bottom, and then the cake mixture poured on top.

3. Bake in the middle rack at 325 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes. When a tooth pick can be stuck in the middle and removed clean...Its Done! Remove from the oven and place a flat plate or serving plate on top of the pie pan, immediately flip and invert the cake. Hopefully you greased the pan well and you are staring at a beautiful topping of chopped cranberries which is now the top of the cake!

Tips & Warnings

• The key to this is greasing the pie plate enough so that when you flip the pan out of the oven, the cake drops out easily.
• If your oven runs hot, adjust the temp because this cake needs to cook slowly at 325 degrees so that the middle cooks enough. Because the cake is heavy due to the topping it will burn on the edges if cooks too long.
