Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or canned)
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Spoon half of the cranberry sauce over the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it into the surface.
Spread the remaining batter on top, followed by the remaining cranberry sauce. Swirl again to create a marbled effect.
To make the crumb topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
