Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Generously butter a cake pan or pie pan. Add the cranberries to the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle on the chopped pecans, then sprinkle on 2/3 cup of the sugar.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, melted butter, eggs, almond extract, and salt. Stir gently to combine.

Step 4

Slowly pour the batter over the top of the cranberries and pecans in large ribbons in order to evenly cover the surface. Spread gently if necessary.

Step 5

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. 5 minutes before removing from the oven, sprinkle the surface with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar for a little extra crunch.

Step 6

Cut into wedges and serve with ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
