How to Make Whole Wheat Cranberry Sour Cream Coffeecake

  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.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the dried cranberries (if using).
  7. Spread about 2/3 cup of the cranberry sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  8. Pour the batter over the cranberry sauce and spread evenly.
  9. In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients: brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  10. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  11. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the coffeecake cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
