Ingredients
  

  • cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs whites and yolks divided
  • ¾ teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup sour cream
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries rinsed, picked through, and dried
  • 1 Tablespoons granulated sugar for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease a 13×9 baking pan. Set aside.
  • Combine butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until well creamed.
  • Add egg yolks (place the whites in a separate, clean, dry, dish) and extracts and stir well.
  • Stir in sour cream until well combined.
  • In a separate medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually (in 3 or 4 parts) add flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just enough to completely combine ingredients after each addition.
  • To another medium sized, clean, dry, and grease-free bowl, pour egg whites and use an electric mixer to beat until you reach stiff peaks. Add to your batter and use a spatula to gently fold egg whites into the batter.
  • Add the cranberries and fold gently into the batter until well distributed. Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan.
  • Sprinkle additional granulated sugar evenly over cake and transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow to cool in pan before serving.
