Cranberry Swirl Coffee Cake

 I recently discovered this rich, moist recipe in a magazine and it was a hit!

     Ingredients:

• 1 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. almond extract
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 cup cranberry sauce or jam

     Frosting (optional)

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tsp. milk
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• Slivered almonds

     Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Combine the yogurt, oil, eggs, sugar, and extracts in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients, and slowly incorporate into the wet mixture. 

Place the batter into a greased pan of your choice (preferably a fluted tube pan). Drop the sauce or jam of your choice onto the batter, and bake for 25-40 minutes. 

Once cool, drizzle the frosting on top or dust with some powdered sugar.
