Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.Melt 1/2 stick butter in a wide saucepan, then add the cranberries and sugar. Cook over a fairly high heat until the fruit begins to pop. This will take hardly anytime if the cranberries are fresh, and about 10 minutes if they're frozen.

2. 2

   Remove the pan from the heat.

3. 3

   Combine the flour, baking powder, soda and sugar in a large bowl and add the eggs, melted butter and orange oil.

4. 4

   Mix until smooth.

5. 5

   Pour half of the batter into a 2-pint round pie dish. Cover with the cranberries, then top with the remaining batter; don't worry if the cranberries are not covered completely.

6. 6

   Sprinkle flaked almonds and raw sugar over and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and set.
