Cranberry Sour Cream Kuchen

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan or cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix, or the kuchen could turn out dense!
  6. Gently fold in the cranberries. If you’re using frozen cranberries, no need to thaw them; just toss them in as they are!
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. If you’re feeling extra fancy, dust the top with some powdered sugar before serving!

And there you have it! A moist and delicious Cranberry Sour Cream Kuchen that’s sure to impress anyone who takes a slice. Serve it up at your next gathering, or just enjoy it while you relax at home. Either way, it’s gonna be a hit. Enjoy!
