Author Notes
A sweet and tart start to your morning or finish for your dinner.
Fresh cranberry season is upon us. I love cranberry sauce and cranberry salad, but I also love baking with them. Working with my sourdough starter to find other things to bake besides bread, I decided to try this coffee cake. The sugar topping makes a nice crunch and counter-balance to the tart cranberries. I used fed sourdough starter, but since there is baking powder and baking soda in the recipe, you could probably use discard starter.
Of course, you could always make this with real butter and milk. Or top it with chopped apples or other berries, in which case you would probably want to decrease the sugar in the topping to 1/4 cup. —weshook
