Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Combine the eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Stir rapidly for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns yellow.

Step 3

Add the butter and almond extract to the mixture. Continue stirring rapidly for another 2 minutes. Slowly and gently stir in the flour. Don’t overmix - just until the flour is barely combined.

Step 4

Add the cranberries and pecans. Stir gently to mix.

Step 5

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with butter or margarine. Then, pour the cake batter into the dish.

Step 6

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into its center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven, and slice it into individual pieces. Transfer the pieces to serving platters and top with whipped cream and a cranberry if desired. Enjoy!
