My mom's birthday was a couple weeks ago, and since Paul had the week of her birthday off, I requested to take it off so we could drive home to celebrate with her. My sister and I decided to make dinner for her, and I volunteered to bring dessert, as I usually do.
I wanted to make a cake, since it was for a birthday, but I didn't want a traditional cake. That is when I stumbled upon the cranberry crumb cake from the hungry couple. It looked great, so I decided to go for it.

As usual, when I serve my food, I often forget to take pictures of it, but trust me, it was delicious!

Yield: 10 slices Prep time: 30 min total time: 1 1/2 hours
ingredients:
cake:
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 sticks butter (room temperature)
- 1 TBSP vanilla
- 1 TBSP orange zest
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream (I used plain yogurt)
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups cranberries
crumb topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp salt
directions:
- Combine the ingredients for the crumb topping and set aside.
- To make the cake, cream the eggs and sugar together. Beat in the butter. Add the vanilla, orange zest and sour cream and continue mixing until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Place the cranberries to a small bowl and add a tablespoon of the flour mixture. Toss the berries in the flour to help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake. Stir the flour mixture into the wet batter and mix. Add the cranberries
and stir just until combined. - To assemble the cake, pour the cake batter into a buttered and floured spring-form pan or bundt pan. With your fingers, crumble the crumb topping evenly over the batter and bake for approximately 50 - 60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
