Ingredients

Crumb Topping:

  • 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

Cake:

  • 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

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  2. Combine brown sugar, white sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt for crumb topping in a medium bowl and toss lightly with a fork.

  3. 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.

  4. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt for cake in a large bowl.

  5. 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.

  6. Spread batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle topping evenly over the batter.

  7. 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.

Cook's Note:

You can use 2% milk instead of whole.
