- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Lightly grease a 23cm round springform cake tin.
- Prepare the struesel by combining the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a large bowl. Rub in the butter until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs; set aside.
- For the cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a bowl. Add to the butter mixture alternately with the soured cream.
- Spread 1/2 the cake mixture, 1/2 the cranberries and 1/2 the struesel in the prepared tin. Repeat layers, ending with the struesel.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
