2 eggs
2 c flour

1 c sour cream or plain yogurt
1 t almond extract
16 oz can whole berry cranberry sauce
3/4 c ground almonds

Sugar Glaze:
3/4 c confectioners sugar
1-2 t water
1 t almond extract

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 10" bundt or tube pan. Cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs one at a time. Sift together flour, baking powder, and bakng soad. Alternately add small amounts of sour cream and flour mixture to creamed mixture. Stir in almond extract. Spoon one half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread one half of the cranberry sauce over the batter and sprinkle with one half of hte nuts. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients. With a long knife, cut through and swirl batter and layers. Bake at 350 for 50 - 60 minutes. cool on a rack for 20 minutes before removing cake from pan.

Beat together all glaze ingredients with a whisk or fork until smooth. Drizzle on cooled cake.
