Ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses (melasse in german)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 3/4 tsp almond extract or 3/4 tsp almond essence
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup dried cranberries (pre-soak them in lemon juice if you like 'tangy'!)

Directions:

  1. Base:
  2. Preheat oven. Mix flour, coconut, sugar, soda and salt. Add butter and molasses and mix until crumbly.
  3. Press mixture into greased (or baking-paper lined) 9ï¿1/2x13ï¿1/2 (23cmx33cm) pan.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes.
  5. Topping:.
  6. Stir sugar, molasses and almond extract into beaten eggs.
  7. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt and stir into egg mixture.
  8. Add coconut and cranberries and mix.
  9. Pour over crust, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with almonds.
  10. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 25 minutes or until medium brown.
  11. Cool and ice with lemon frosting (optional).
  12. (Optional) Lemon frosting: Whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 3 tsp of lemon or lime juice. Add a bit of milk or more juice to achieve the taste and consistency you prefer.
  13. NOTE (for first reviewer): You need not cool the bottom layer after first bake - just dollop the topping over it and be very careful in spreading or flattening it, use a light hand. Thanks for trying it. Glad you liked the taste.
