Cranberry Almond Cake (GF & DF)

Ingredients For This Cranberry Almond Cake:

• Whole Fresh Cranberries
• Nuts – Slice Almonds or Pecans
• Organic Raw Cane Sugar
• Eggs
• Vegan Butter
• Oat Flour

By the way, this recipe comes courtesy of my mom (I’m not sure who she got it from. I wish I could take credit for it but I can’t. I will share it with you all though). She makes it every year and I love it.

To make this dessert fit my cooking style, I have chosen to make it dairy and gluten-free.

How To Assemble This Dessert:

• Add the cranberries to a glass pan or cast iron skillet. Top with nuts and 1/2 cup sugar.
• To a separate bowl, with a hand mixer, cream together the remaining 1 cup sugar, eggs and butter. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Pour over the top of the cranberries. That’s it!

How To Serve This Cranberry Cake:

• Feel free to garnish with sugared cranberries. This isn’t apart of the original recipe, but I think it adds such a festive touch. Also serve with vanilla bean ice cream.

Helpful Tips:

• Cranberries – You can use frozen fresh for this recipe. (When cranberries are in season, I usually buy a number of bags and throw them in the freezer for later).
• Eggs & Butter – Make sure both are at room temperature.
• Eggs – Add them to a bowl of warm water and let them sit for about 5 minutes.
• Butter – It needs to be soft and not melted. Also, I would not recommend melting it in the microwave, because if it gets too melty it will mess up the cooking process.
