  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g butter, room temperature
  • Cake:
  • 220 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 85 g butter, room temperature
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 eggs, room temperature

  • 25 g vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 150 g cranberries
  • Orange Glaze:
  • 30 g powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange juice
  • ¼ teaspoon sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F and line a 23 cm / 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. To make the crumble, combine the flour, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Mix until the texture is crumbly and no dry flour remains. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, rub together the granulated sugar and orange zest until fragrant and damp. Add the butter and mix until light and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
  5. Stir in half of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) until just combined.
  6. Add the orange juice, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix gently.
  7. Add the remaining dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth.
  8. Fold in half of the cranberries.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining cranberries over the batter, followed by the crumble topping.
  10. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and sour cream to make the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Frozen cranberries can be used directly without thawing.
  • Greek yogurt works well as a substitute for sour cream.
  • The glaze is optional but adds a nice finishing touch.
  • For variety, swap cranberries with blueberries or raspberries.
  • A pinch of cinnamon in the crumble adds warmth.
