Cranberry Coffee Cake

The source for today’s recipe is Southern Lady magazine. Flavorful, moist, and tasty. The tart cranberry flavor is offset with the mild almond extract. Great combination. Sour cream makes this cake very moist. Not too sweet, as the 1 cup sugar to 2 cups flour ratio works well. Perfect party pleaser! This recipe is a keeper!!
