Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Add eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.

Gently fold in the cranberries until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans (if using). Mix well.
Step 9
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Remove the coffee cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
