cranberry almond coffee cake
(1 rating)
I made this delicious coffee cake a week after receiving my Dec/Jan 2007 TOH magazine. We loved it, so much that I made another the next week and used dried cherries. I had to use the other half of the almond paste. There is also a recipe for almond paste I will post with this recipe. I never made it, not sure how it is, sounds easy enough. It was on the very next page and was posted to go with this recipe if wanting to make your own instead of store bought.
