Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of dark brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer. (5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. (2 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped toasted hazelnuts. (2 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. (1 minute)

08

Step
3 mins

In a small bowl, combine the 1/3 cup dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle evenly over the cake batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the topping into the batter for a marbled effect. (3 minutes)

09

Step
1 hrs 20 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 75-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (75-80 minutes)

10

Step
15 mins

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before releasing the springform and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of orange zest to the batter.
To toast the hazelnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool slightly, then rub off the skins with a clean kitchen towel.
If you don't have cake flour, you can make your own by using all-purpose flour and removing 2 tablespoons of flour for each cup, then adding back 2 tablespoons of cornstarch for each cup.
Be careful not to overbake the cake, as it can become dry. Start checking for doneness around 70 minutes.

    I found the cake a little dry, so next time I will add a little sour cream or yogurt to the batter.

    The swirl of cinnamon sugar on top is genius! It adds the perfect amount of sweetness and spice.
