Cranberry coffee cake

Here you have it, another version of my popular apple and caramel coffee cake. 

I really like this version a lot as well. The tart of the cranberries goes really well with the sweetness of the crumble topping.

I got organic cranberries at Trader Joes but if you can't get organic ones just make sure you clean them really well.

I actually have other cranberries recipes that I also like a lot that I have not made in a while so I will post them here in case you want to check them out.

Cranberry season is just upon us. I really want to get some new recipes in the blog with cranberies so I will have to research around and see what I can come up with.

Until then,

Enjoy this cake.

Here you have the cranberry mixture after being in the stove for about 10 minutes to soften. The right picture is the streusel topping. I used coconut oil instead of olive oil.

Spread the cranberries over the batter, which will be rather thick, gently followed by the streusel topping.

This cake is sensational. I don't know which version I like best, the cranberry or the apple version.

Let me know if you get to try this cake. It is easy, yummy and not so bad for you!!

Ingredients Miryam's original recipe

Yields 10-12 servings

1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup unrefined sugar
2 eggs, I always use organic
2/3 cups Greek plain yogurt
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Fruit filling:

12 oz fresh cranberries
1/4 cup honey

Streusel topping

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, you can also use pecans
1/3 cup coconut oil, you can also use olive oil. I used coconut oil
1/2 cup unrefined sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9 inch spring form pan and set aside.

In a heavy bottom sauce pan add cranberries and honey over medium to low heat. Cook for about 5-10 minutes until cranberries have soften like in the picture. Set aside.

In a bowl mix eggs, oil, yogurt, vanilla and sugar. Add the flour and baking powder and combine. Pour thick batter onto the prepared baking pan. Gently spread cranberries over the batter like in the picture.

In another bowl combing strudel topping and place over the cranberries. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I baked my cake for 55.

Cool cake in pan. Remove cake from the pan and serve. I actually serve my cake on the baking pan, I just remove the ring part.
