Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the almond extract.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the cranberries.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
