Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour (2 cups) with granulated sugar (1 cup) and salt. Mix well.
Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the cold cubed butter (0.75 cups) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for the topping.
To the remaining flour mixture, add the baking powder and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs (2 large), milk (1 cup), and vanilla extract (2 teaspoons).
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the fresh cranberries (2 cups) and gently stir to distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the reserved 1 cup of flour mixture with the packed brown sugar (0.5 cups) and ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon). Mix well and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
