Cranberry Coffee Cake
Perfect with a morning coffee. We love having this recipe around the holidays, but honestly it’s good all the other days too!
Ingredience
For the Cranberry Coffee Cake:
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar plus 2 tablespoons
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt or full-fat (you can use fat free, but the cake will be slightly less moist)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 cups white whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder I recommend using aluminum free
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen and thawed)
Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter and flour a 10-cup bundt pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating fully between each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add to the butter/yogurt mixture and beat gently until evenly combined. Fold in the cranberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, then bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Turn out of the pan onto the rack and allow to cool a few more minutes.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and almond extract until smooth. If you desire a thicker glaze, add additional powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cake, then slice and serve.
