How to Make Cranberry Crumb Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the cranberries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and butter for the crumble topping. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing to serve.
