Provided by Hayley Parker, The Domestic Rebel

Categories     Breakfast     Cakes/Cupcakes     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 21

FOR CRUMB:
1 cup brown sugar
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick butter) (melted)
1 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
FOR CAKE:
3/4 cup butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup full-fat sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1¼ tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups fresh cranberries
FOR GLAZE:
1½ cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9" round sprinform pan with cooking spray. Place a 9" parchment round in the bottom of the pan, then grease the parchment. Set aside.
  • For the cake batter: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light, about 2 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the vanilla extract and sour cream; beat well. Lastly, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Fold in the cranberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
  • To make the streusel/crumb: In a large bowl, toss together the crumb ingredients until moistened and large crumbs form. Liberally drop crumb mixture over the cake batter, covering it completely. There will seem like a LOT of crumb, but use all of it!
  • Bake for approx. 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, not wet, crumbs. Cool completely.
  • Just before serving, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the cake, then release the cake from the pan and cut into slices.

CRANBERRY CRUMB CAKE



Cranberry Crumb Cake image

With their pleasant tang and gorgeous color, cranberries take this brunch staple to the next level. Here, they're nestled in a sour cream cake batter that's topped with a butter crumb, and cook down to add the perfect burst of sour. You can use fresh cranberries or berries that have been frozen and thawed, but note that the cooking time will vary depending on which you use. Lastly, while cranberries make this cake especially nice for fall and winter, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries would be excellent in the summer.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 4h

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan
2 1/2 cups/320 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest (from 1 or 2 oranges)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup/240 milliliters full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
3 cups/340 grams fresh or unthawed frozen cranberries
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup packed/220 grams light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Butter the parchment. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, butter and orange zest with an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Add in the vanilla. Beat in half of the dry ingredients at low speed, then the sour cream, and then the remaining dry ingredients, mixing just until no dry spots remain (do not overmix). Fold in 1 cup of the cranberries.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread it out into an even layer using an offset spatula. Top with the remaining cranberries.
  • Prepare the crumble: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and mix it in with a fork until evenly moistened.
  • Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the top, squeezing into various-size clumps. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. If you are using fresh cranberries, start checking the cake around 45 minutes. If you are using frozen cranberries, this could take 55 to 60 minutes.
  • Transfer the cake in the pan to a rack to cool completely (about 3 hours). Using the parchment overhang, carefully lift the cake and transfer to a cutting board to cut and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • To make sure the crumb topping is evenly distributed, use a pastry blender or two forks to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
