Coffee Cake With Cranberry Swirl image

What a great cake! Moist and delicious with just the right balance of tartness and sweetness. I used nonfat plain yogurt instead of sour cream and used freshly made cranberry sauce instead of canned. Perfect for the holidays and all year round.

Yield 1 tube cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream (I used nonfat plain yogurt)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 (8 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce (I used 1 cup of fresh cranberry sauce)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • (Decrease the temperature by 25 degrees if using dark pan).
  • Grease and flour a 9 or 10 inch tube pan. Tap out the excess flour.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs just until well blended.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Lower the mixer speed, and add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream or yogurt until just blended. DO NOT OVERMIX!
  • Stir in the almond extract and mix only until just combined.
  • Pour 1/3 of the batter into the pan.
  • Swirl 1/2 of the cranberry sauce into the batter.
  • Add another 1/3 of the batter, then swirl in the remaining cranberry sauce. Top with remaining batter.
  • Bake about 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pan on wire rack about 10 minutes. Cut around edge of the cake to loosen, then turn out and let cool completely on wire rack.
