Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine 0.5 cups of melted and cooled butter, 0.75 cups of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in 1.5 cups of cranberries into the batter. If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them beforehand to avoid streaking.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cups of light brown sugar, 0.5 cups of chopped pecans, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 cups of all-purpose flour in a bowl.

Step 8

Add 0.25 cups of cold, cubed butter to the streusel mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to mix until the streusel resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the coffeecake batter in the pan.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 38 to 42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Cranberry Pecan Streusel Coffeecake with a cup of coffee or tea!
