Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 cups fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (6 ounces)
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened, divided
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
Garnish: confectioners sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Generously butter a 9- by 2-inch round cake pan. Line bottom with a round of parchment paper and butter parchment.
  • Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a food processor with tip of a paring knife (reserve pod for another use if desired). Add sugar and pulse to combine. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Pulse cranberries with 1/2 cup vanilla sugar in processor until finely chopped (do not purée).
  • Whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat together 1 stick butter and 1 cup vanilla sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down side and bottom of bowl. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour mixture and milk alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour, until just combined.
  • Spread half of batter in pan, then spoon cranberries over it, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge. Top with remaining batter and smooth top.

  • Bake until a wooden pick inserted into cake (not into cranberry filling) comes out clean and side begins to pull away from pan, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in pan 30 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely, crumb side up.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give your coffee cake the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your coffee cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the coffee cake is cooked through.
  • Let the coffee cake cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

Rich Cranberry Coffee Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make coffee cake that's perfect for any occasion. With its moist crumb, tart cranberries, and sweet streusel topping, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch treat, give this recipe a try.
