  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add one egg at a time, mixing completely after each egg. Fold in sour cream and vanilla. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture.

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, almonds, cranberry sauce, orange peel and pumpkin pie spices using a beater; spoon evenly over batter. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
