1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
For the Coffee Cake:

1 cup granulated sugar

Directions
For the streusel:
- Melt the butter in a Farberware 3-Qt Saucepan. Let cool slightly and stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon and 1 and ⅓ cup all-purpose flour. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a Farberware 9x13" Baking Pan.
- Sift together 2 and ¼ cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing just until well combined. Fold in the cranberries.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and top with the brown sugar streusel. Bake at 350°F for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back out clean. Let the coffee cake cool completely.
For the vanilla glaze:
- Beat together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract. Drizzle onto the cooled coffee cake.
