DESCRIPTION
Dessert -- Nantucket Cramberry Cake

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under cakes

INSTRUCTIONS
Topping (kind-of):

2 cups chopped cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup sugar

Batter:

2 eggs
3/4 cup melted unsalted butter (must be butter!) (this is 1 & 1/2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon almond extract

Preheat oven to 350F.

Butter sides of 9" or 10" springform pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper if you are serving to company - if the "topping" doesn't have to look nice, just butter the pan.

Put topping ingredients in pan.

Wisk eggs, add sugar, beat until light yellow. Slowly add slightly cooled butter. Wisk in flour and almond extract. Pour over topping mixture. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove cake from oven. Let sit for 7 minutes. Run knife around edge of pan & invert onto cake plate. Remove springform side. If using parchment paper, let cool additional 10 minutes then remove the paper.

I find this cake a little too buttery - I only use around 1/4 cup (1 stick).
