Ingredients

For the batter:

  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cups fresh cranberries finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup dairy-free sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 1/2 all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the streusel topping:

  • 1 cup cranberries finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Make flax egg substitute:

  • Into a small bowl, add ground flaxseed and water. Stir to combine and set aside.

Prepare the batter:

  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar. Using a mixer, cream the two ingredients together.
  • Add flax mixture and continue beating until incorporated.
  • Add sour cream and vanilla bean paste; mix well.
  • Fold in 1/2 cup of the chopped cranberries.
  • Into a 9x9-inch baking pan, spread batter in an even layer.

Prepare the streusel topping:

  • Into a medium-size mixing bowl, add the remaining 1 cup chopped cranberries, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, butter, and ground cinnamon.
  • Using your hands, work the mixture into a crumbly texture.
  • Sprinkle the topping mixture over the cake batter to cover completely.

Bake the cake:

  • Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Set on a wire rack until cooled completely.
  • Serve at room temperature. Store any leftovers, covered in the refrigerator.
