Cranberry Cake with Brown Sugar Struesel Topping

Good morning! Winter has arrived, yesterday the high was 28 and today I think it is going to be just a little above that. They say there is another storm coming across the plains and heading to the East coast so do stay safe. 

Cake stand old from Marshalls, similar here

If you are lucky enough to be at home and enjoying a snow day this scrumptious Cranberry Coffeecake might be something you want to make today. This particular one is filled with homemade cranberry jam but you could always use store-bought or fill the middle with a cinnamon nut mixture.

Cranberry Coffeecake

Recipe adapted from Kevins Cooking

Ingredients

Jam

12 ounces fresh cranberries

1 orange, zest and juice

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon honey

Cake  

13/4 cup flour

1 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 Tablespoons baking powder

3 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

1/2 cup of flour

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup of melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a 10″ spring form pan with cooking spray and parchment paper. Set aside. 

In a medium saucepan add the cranberries, sugar, orange zest and juice and the honey, and cook over medium heat until berries start to break down. Turn to low and cook to a jam like consistency. Remove from heat, let cool. 

In a medium bowl stir flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda together. Add eggs, vanilla and sour cream and mix well. 

Pour batter into the pan and them spread 1 cup of the jam over the top. Top with the crumble and bake for 40 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes and remove from pan. 

NOTE: You will have extra jam. For this post I made two small cakes and used all of my jam. I had to cook my cakes a little longer and all of my topping melted so I had to make another batch and put it on the last 10 minutes of baking. 

Have a great day!
