Cranberry Streusel Coffee Cake
I like coffee cakes for breakfast on the weekend, and this one is great for the Christmas season. Well, it's good anytime really - buy fresh cranberries when they are in season and freeze them to make this later on too! It's nice to make for a brunch or a morning coffee get together.

Ingredients

• Streusel:
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
