Description
A delicious cranberry orange cake with a pecan streusel topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped raw pecans
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 9 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
- Make the pecan streusel. Combine flour, granulated sugar, pecans, powdered sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour melted butter, stirring until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare cake batter. Combine sugar and orange zest in a small bowl, rubbing them together to release the citrus oils from the zest.
- Add sugar mixture to a stand mixer along with butter and beat until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add egg, beating until well combined.
- Whisk together vanilla, Greek yogurt, and orange juice together until smooth in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour with baking powder and salt. Add half of the wet ingredients to the cake batter, followed by half of the dry ingredients. Repeat once more, stirring just until combined.
- Add cranberries to cake batter, gently stirring until combined. Transfer cake batter to prepared cake pan, spreading it into one even layer. Sprinkle pecan streusel on top.
- Bake cake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
