Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cake batter.
• Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and orange zest.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the streusel topping. Mix with your fingers or a pastry blender until crumbly.
• Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
• Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the coffee cake cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
