Ingredients
Streusel:
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, at room temperature
Cake:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, reduce slightly if using salted butter
- 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
For Garnish:
- Icing/Confectioners' Sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. (regular bake setting/not fan assisted). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
- Make the streusel: In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Add the butter and blend into dry ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
- Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix to combine well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternately with the sour cream (add 1/3 flour mixture, then 1/2 sour cream, then 1/3 flour mixture, then remainder of sour cream, then remainder of flour mixture). Stir in cranberries.
- Spread 1/2 of the batter into prepared pan. Cover with 1/2 of the streusel mixture. Top with remaining batter and top with remaining streusel.
- Bake at 350F for 65-75 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
