Ingredients

  • For the coffee cake:  1 ½ cups all purpose flour  2 teaspoon baking powder  ½ cup sugar  3 tablespoon salted butter, softened  1 large egg  ¾ cup sour cream  1 ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract  ½ teaspoon salt  ¾ cup cranberries 
  • For the streusel:  ½ cup all purpose flour ⅓ cup granulated sugar  1 teaspoon cinnamon  ¼ cup {½ stick} salted butter, softened  

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.  Butter or spray a loaf pan or an 8x8 pan. 
  • To make the coffee cake: Whisk all dry ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Add in the egg, sour cream, butter, and vanilla, mixing until well incorporated.
  • Fold cranberries into the batter gently with a spatula. The batter will be very thick and almost dough-like.
  • Spread into prepared pan. 
  • To make the streusel: In a small bowl, mix ingredients for streusel. Sprinkle on top of unbaked coffee cake. 
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes in the 8x8, or 45-55 minutes in the loaf pan {until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is a light golden brown}. Let cool, cut into slices or squares, serve warm or cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Enjoy!
