A simple coffee cake recipe featuring cranberries and maple flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (for batter)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (for topping)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup maple syrup until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the cranberries. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and cold butter pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Stir in pecans if using.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- For an extra maple flavor, you can drizzle a small amount of extra maple syrup over the warm cake after baking.
- You can substitute walnuts for pecans in the topping if desired.
