CRANBERRY BUCKLE WITH CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Butter a 9-inch square baking pan*.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, and orange zest together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition, and then add the vanilla. Switch to a spoon and add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Fold in 1 cup cranberries.
• Spread the batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cranberries over the cake.
• Combine the flour, sugars, salt, and butter in the bowl of a food processor or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Pulse or mix on low speed until the mixture is the texture of coarse crumbs. Drizzle the vanilla over the mixture and either pulse or mix briefly just until incorporated.
• Sprinkle the crumb topping over the cranberries that are atop the batter. (We like that this recipe affords a generous amount of crumbly buttery sweetness atop the cake. But it's up to youyou really, really, really don't like crumbs, use just 1 cup or so of the crumb topping and save the rest for another day, stashing the remaining crumb topping in a resealable plastic bag for another buckle and freezing for up to 3 months and saving it for the next time you make this buckle or any crisp, crumble, coffee cake, baked apples, or so on.)
• Bake the buckle for 45 to 50 minutes, until lightly golden and firm on top. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving. The cake will keep, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
