Tips:

  • Carefully measure ingredients: Baking is a precise science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale if possible, or level off dry ingredients with a knife.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh ingredients will give your coffee cake the best flavor. If you can, use fresh cranberries, oranges, and buttermilk.

  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the coffee cake is cooked through.
  • Let the coffee cake cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
