Yield:
1 9x13-inch cake

Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 package yellow cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)

  • 1 cup water

  • 3 eggs

  • cup vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce

  • 1 (16 ounce) package vanilla frosting

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan with cooking spray.

  2. Combine yellow cake mix, water, eggs, vegetable oil, and almond extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Spread batter in the prepared pan.

  3. Stir cranberry sauce with a fork to loosen; spoon half over the cake batter. Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

  5. Mix remaining cranberry sauce and frosting together in a bowl. Spread over the cake.

Cook's Note:

You can also use two 9-inch cake pans and use the frosting to sandwich the cakes together.
