    Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake… Farewell 2016

    Jump to Recipe

    After a few rough years, I have to say 2016 was a good year for me, and I owe my happiness to my cousin and best friend, Ajay.Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake (6)

    This past year didn’t exactly start on a positive note, but it wasn’t completely negative either, I was just going through the motions.

    It’s not until my cousin had a talk with me, got through to me, and made me remove all negativity from my life, including people, especially people. Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake (1)

    And so I did whatever he asked of me because I barely trusted myself to make good decisions. Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake (9)

    Now was the time to do ME. I started to focus on all the positive things that surrounded me… my family and friends, my health, my life, just simple things that I so often took for granted.Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake (4)

    I started to cook again, and bake too. I started to blog again. I started to do things for myself, things that I once enjoyed, and doing those things didn't seem as mechanical to me anymore. I started to feel at peace with myself and life.

    And when you start feeling like yourself again, something amazing happens when you least expect it, another door opens. 🙂Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake (11)

    On that note, I wish you all a very Happy New Year with this Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake. I hope you have a safe night spending time with friends/family. Here’s to 2017 bringing us health, love, happiness and peace on earth! I’m hopeful.

      So happy for you! It sucks when you cant remove those negative people from your life. I really wish, I could do that. I know I am such a loser. Continue to blog often. You know I am a lazy cook yet I tried some of your most time consuming recipes and they are a big hit here among my friends. I am not revealing my source to them. Haha. I know. Such a baddie.

      Take care Nisha. Hope 2017 be an amazing year for you.

        Hi Munzi.. Thanks for your kind words. It is hard to remove negative people from your life, and I always have a hard time letting go in general. I'm so glad my recipes have been a hit, that always makes me so happy to hear. I will continue to blog often, I try, gets difficult with work and life you know. Happy New Year and wish you a great 2017 as well.

      This cake was delicious! I made this for my in-laws anniversary a day before and my husband said I tortured him with how good the house smelled and making him wait to try it. I like to make cakes eggless if I can, and I replaced the eggs with flax eggs, and you could not tell at all. This was an easy to follow recipe and everyone loved it!

      I made this cake yesterday and it was incredibly delicious! So light and fluffy, perfect sweetness, and the topping is to die for. I loved that it was so delicious but didn’t feel overly indulgent or cloyingly sweet. My family devoured it. One tip I’d like to share with anyone who wants to make this is to not skimp on the whipping butter/sugar/eggs. Really take your time with both steps. Results in such a tender buttery crumb.

      Question for Nisha: do you think this would work with frozen blueberries?

        Hi Hina. I think it would be fine with frozen blueberries, however the cake will turn purplish-blue - frozen blueberries tend to bleed more. Just FYI! it'll taste great though.
