Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups sour cream
- 1.5 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cups white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (for streusel topping)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed, for streusel topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform or cake pan. Lightly dust it with flour and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh cranberries and white chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully removing it. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
