almond breakfast brunch cake Christmas Christmas food coffee coffee cake cranberry crumble holidays nuts orange recipe zest

Cranberry Crumble Coffee Cake

I have to confess that this was the post I was attempting to share with you right before Christmas. I had planned on baking this coffee cake ahead of time, and posting it on Christmas Eve while telling you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and wishing you love and laughter with you family and loved ones.

Instead, Big G and I stayed up until 5 am, wrapping presents, cooking other things and preparing for Christmas morning. This actually didn’t even get made until later Christmas morning, when it was in the oven smelling up our house in the most delicious of ways while we opened our gifts and spent Christmas morning with the kids.

To be quite honest it worked out great this way, but that’s why I’m posting this recipe to share with you now on Saturday December 29 instead of December 24. I’m sure you won’t mind. Many folks still have holiday guests in their home, and will continue to until after the New Year, so feel free to enjoy this wonderful cake for breakfast or brunch!

This is the second year I’ve made this for Christmas morning brunch, but I did tweak things around a bit from last years recipe. Last year’s tasted better fresh out of the oven and leftovers didn’t stand up as well, but this year it was actually even better reheated the following morning. So feel free to bake this ahead of time and serve it reheated. The streusel layered in the middle melts up beautifully when it’s reheated.

Last year I used fresh cranberry sauce and layered it in there, but this year I used fresh uncooked cranberries and it made such a huge difference. This is perfect served with some warm coffee or tea for brunch!

Cake Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
Streusel Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 stick cold butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, add the zest of one orange.
Add the sugar to the zest until well combined.  Then add butter.
Cream the butter with the sugar and zest.
Add the eggs and beat on low.
Add the sour cream and vanilla, continue to beat until combined.
Now add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined.
Once combined, gently fold in the fresh cranberries. Set aside.
Now prepare the streusel mix by adding all the ingredients except for the butter.
Combine the dry ingredients first, then add the cold butter, cutting into it with a pastry blender or fork until combined with the dry mixture in little chunks.
Lightly grease or spray a 9 inch springform pan.
Add half the cake batter and spread evenly.
Now add half of the streusel mixture on top.
Repeat by adding the remaining cake mixture, then the remaining streusel topping. 
Bake in the preheated oven for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
I checked every 15 minutes after 45 minutes of baking, but oven times vary.
Shortly after removing from the oven, run a knife around the edges of the cake while still in pan to ensure the sides don’t stick. Wait about 10 minutes and remove the springform sides of the pan.
For clean and even slices, use a serrated knife to cut.
I love that you can see the little tiny pieces of orange zest in the cake!
Serve warm, and enjoy!

    I think I’m going to make this for Christmas morning! Can I make this in a different pan? I don’t have a springform.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
