Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter room temperature, plus more for baking dish
- ¾ cup cane sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup 2% Greek yogurt
- 1 orange zested
- 1 ½ cups cranberries fresh or frozen
- 1 cup sliced almonds roughly chopped
- powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch round baking pan with butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, and sugar for 3-5 minutes or until combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla extract. Add the Greek yogurt and orange zest.
- Slowly add the flour mixture, allowing some to fully mix in before adding the next. Once the flour is incorporated and the batter has formed, fold in the cranberries and ½ cup of sliced almonds.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly so it reaches the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining sliced almonds on top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through in the center. Let cool and serve.

Notes
- Tip: To keep the cranberry cake from crumbling, let it cool completely before slicing. This allows the cake to rest and finish setting up.
