Preparation

Adapted from Recipe Runner


  1. Make the topping: Mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter, and then gently mix in the flour using a fork. Keep the mixture as large crumbles. Set topping aside.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350℉.

  3. Make rosemary-sugar: combine granulated sugar and rosemary in a food processor and pulse for 1 minute until rosemary is finely chopped. Transfer rosemary-sugar to a small bowl and set aside.

  4. Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rosemary-sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  5. In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, mix together the egg + yolk, milk, yogurt, oil, and vanilla until well combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, until just combined.

  6. Fold the cranberries into the batter using a silicone spatula.

  7. Assemble coffee cake: Grease an 8x8 baking dish and pour ½ of the batter into the bottom of the dish. Next, add ½ of the streusel evenly over the batter. Pour remaining batter over top, and finish with the rest of the streusel.

  8. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out mostly clean but not wet.

  9. Let coffee cake cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.
