In a large bowl, add 3/4 cup of sugar.

Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and 2 whole eggs to the bowl.

Whisk the mixture together and add 3/4 teaspoon of almond extract.

Stir in 3/4 cup of raw almonds and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries to coat them with the wet batter.

Sift over the mixture 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.

Stir until just combined to form a sticky dough.

Flour the work surface and turn out the dough, dividing it in half.

Roll each half into a log about 12 inches long and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.

Brush the logs with an egg wash made from 1 egg mixed with 2 tablespoons of water.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and bake for 35 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 30 minutes until warm to the touch.

Slice the logs using a serrated knife into diagonal pieces.

Arrange the slices upright on the baking tray and bake again at 325°F (163°C) for 20 minutes until golden brown.
