Preparation Steps
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of cranberries, 1 cup of water, and 3/4 cup of sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 10–12 minutes until the cranberries burst and soften. Once softened, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, then stir this into the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of almond flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 6 eggs. Blend until smooth. Divide batter among pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together 4 egg yolks and 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth. Gradually add in 2 cups of milk, stirring continuously. Cook for 5-7 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in 1 package of coconut pudding mix and let cool.
- Assemble the cake by starting with one almond cake layer on a serving plate, spreading cranberry filling on top, followed by coconut custard. Repeat with all layers. Use remaining custard for frosting.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Garnish with shredded coconut and cranberries. Serve chilled.

Notes
Ensure to use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency and avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
