Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350'. Butter and flour a 10 inch bundt or tube pan. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at at a time, and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add extract and zest, mix to incorporate. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture with half of the sour cream and mix well. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture and sour cream and mix until incorporated. Do NOT overmix. Dough will be somewhat sponge like in consistency. Spread approximately 1/3 of the batter into the pan and top with 1/3 of the cranberry sauce. Be careful to spread cranberry sauce into middle of the pan, avoiding contact with sides and center of pan. It might make cake removal difficult. Repeat twice more. Bake cake for 65-70 minutes, or until cake tested inserted into center comes out clean.

While cake is baking, heat preserves in pyrex measuring cup in microwave oven until bubbling, approximately 2-1/2 minutes on high. Add almond extract and mix thoroughly. Set aside.

Remove cake from pan and place on wire rack. Place on top of covered baking sheet. Brush on hot glaze and cover cake completely. Use all of the glaze to ensure cake is thoroughly enrobbed. Let cake cool 5-6 hours.
