2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
¾ cups unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries (or frozen and thawed)
1 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13 baking pan. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar and eggs for 5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium. The volume of mixture will increase by almost half and will be thickened. Add butter and extracts and beat for 2 more minutes. Slowly add flour and beat until combined. Fold in cranberries. Using a spatula, pour and smooth into prepared pan. Sprinkle almonds over top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve and enjoy!
