Time 1h25m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
¼ cup cold unsalted butter
½ cup chopped pecans, or to taste
3 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups whole milk
2 cups chopped fresh cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine brown sugar, white sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt for crumb topping in a medium bowl and toss lightly with a fork.
  • Grate the butter into the flour mixture using the largest side of a box grater. Combine with a fork or pastry knife until ingredients are combined and have the appearance of very coarse meal; the pieces should be loose and not sticking together. Stir in pecans and set topping aside.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt for cake in a large bowl.
  • Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix, scraping the bowl as needed, for 1 minute. Add flour mixture on low speed in thirds, alternating with milk, ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just smooth. Stir in cranberries with a spoon.
  • Spread batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle topping evenly over the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
