Best coffee cake ever!! Cranberry Eggnog Crumb Coffee Cake has so much flavor, is super moist, and that crumb topping is everything! A tender eggnog, vanilla cake is filled with cranberries and topped with a buttery crumb topping. A delicious treat for breakfast or dessert.
I had time to do something today that I haven’t since….well, practically since I started blogging!
Crazy, right?!
I have been so stressed and been so busy the last month on Call Me PMc that I have worked harder than I ever have before on the blog. A busy this time of year and I thought I was prepared for it. I worked hard and got a couple of weeks posts ready. But, offers kept coming, and I hate to turn down paying gigs.
So I kept working and cooking and writing and photographing and editing.
Then today, I looked up and literally…wait for it….
I was caught up!
Like, I have three weeks of posts scheduled and all my paying gigs finished.
So I sat for a minute and thought, “What the hell do I do now?!”
I thought about mopping
nah
I thought about napping
nah
I’ve got it, I’ll visit my friends’ blogs and read and see what they’ve been doing!
But, first, I’ll share my latest! I made this Cranberry Eggnog Crumb Coffee Cake and I think you’ll like it a lot.
Cranberry Eggnog Crumb Coffee Cake
I love a coffee cake. This one is no exception. My Cranberry Eggnog Crumb Cake has a soft texture with just the right about of sweet and crunch from the streusel topping. It’s buttery and dense without being to heavy. You’ll love the tart burst of flavor from the dried cranberries. Plus, don’t you think cranberries and Christmas go hand in hand? It’s perfect for the holidays!

Cranberry Eggnog Crumb Coffee Cake
Ingredients
For Cake
- 1 and 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup butter at room temperature
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon peppermint extract or 1 Tablespoon peppermint Coffee-mate liquid coffee creamer
- 1 and 1/4 cup eggnog room temperature
- 2 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 cup dried cranberries you can reduce this to 1 cup, if you preferCrumb topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Spray a 10-inch springform pan with non-stick spray or coat, generously with solid vegetable shortening.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, cover cranberries with 1 T of the flour mixiture. Toss to coat.*
- Stir the flour mixture into the sugar/egg mixture, slowly. Mix until combined.
- For the crumb topping: Combine sugar, flour and salt in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter. Combine, mixture will have the texture of wet sand.
- Assemble: Pour the cake batter into prepared 10-inch springform pan. Spread evenly.
- Sprinkle cranberries over batter. Sprinkle crumb topping over cranberries.
- Place springform pan on a cookie and into the oven. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Start checking cake at 55 minutes unless you know exactly how your oven bakes. It took my cake 1 hour 10 minutes, but my neighbor only baked hers for 1 hour. Every oven is different.
- Remove from oven when cake test comes out clean and cake is no longer 'jiggly' in the center. Allow to cool on a wire rack. After 10 minutes, run a knife around the edge, but do not try to remove from pan until it is only slightly still warm (like an hour!)

Looks delicious, do you think I could use fresh cranberries instead of dried cranberries? I’d love to make this tomorrow.
Paula says
Yes, I think fresh cranberries would be great in it.

Sounds so amazing you are that far ahead… makes you feel so great! Loving this recipe! (=

Christina Gathright says
Hi Paula! Your cake looks amazing! I gave it a try this weekend and was wondering if you meant 2 tsp of baking powder and not Tablespoons because my cake overflowed all over the bottom of my oven 🙁 I’m going to give it another try this week as this looks like the perfect cake to gift to friends and co-workers for Christmas.
Paula says
Yikes! Yes it should be 2 tsp!! I’m so sorry for the error. Thanks for alerting me to my mistake. I have now corrected it in my recipe.
Foodista says

Your Amaretto version of this was my favorite, so I love that you remade this into a holiday eggnog version. Sounds delicious! Pinning this one to my Christmas Treats board and can’t wait to make. Thanks Paula!

Paula says
lol, thanks! It may not last long 🙂
natashalh says
Congrats on getting caught up! That’s pretty darn impressive. These coffee cake looks way better than actually drinking eggnog. It’s too bad I had to leave my springform pan behind when I moved on Monday and haven’t gotten a new one yet!
Betsy @ Desserts Required says
This is the perfect combination for the holidays!
Paula says
Thanks Betsy.
sarah k @ the pajama chef says
sounds so delicious! i love these flavors 🙂
Paula says
Thanks Sarah, I was happy with how it turned out
Lynsi says
These sound great!! But I was wondering if you had tried them as cupcakes? If not, do you think they would work as cupcakes? Any idea about baking time? Thanks
Paula says
I have not tried them as cupcakes, but I think that would be a great idea. I’m thinking about 25 minutes at 350. I wuold start testing for doneness at 23 minutes with a pick.
