Cranberry Sour Cream Cake
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups sour cream
  • 2 cups chopped fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to grease your 10-inch springform pan thoroughly with some lubricating spray or butter.
3
Then, combine 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 full cup of granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl, along with a few drops of vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend these ingredients until they achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
4
After that, one at a time, incorporate 1 egg into the mixture, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5
Simultaneously, in a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they form a harmonious blend.
6
Then, gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the butter mixture in multiple stages, alternating with 1/2 cup of sour cream to create a smooth batter.
7
Following that, divide the batter evenly between two portions and pour half of it into your prepared springform pan.
8
Next, combine 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with the cranberries in a separate bowl and spread them evenly over the batter.
9
Then, top the cranberry layer with the remaining batter.
10
After that, in a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 tablespoon of butter, and a pinch of cinnamon. Use your fingers or a spoon to blend these ingredients until they resemble coarse crumbs.
11
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over your cake to complete its preparation.
12
Finally, bake your cake in a preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until it achieves a light golden brown color and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with moist crumbs.
