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 vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1 cup fresh or dried cranberries
1/2 cup sliced almonds for topping

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf 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 separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the cranberries.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in 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. Slice and serve as desired.
