["Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F Lightly grease a 9"" x 13"" pan.", "To make the streusel: In a large bowl, beat together all of the streusel ingredients until even crumbs form. Scoop the mixture into a smaller bowl, and set it aside.", "To make the batter: In the same bowl in which you've just made the streusel (you can use a different bowl if you want, but this saves on washing dishes), beat together the butter and brown sugar until smooth.", "Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl and again beating until smooth. The mixture may look slightly curdled; thats OK.", "Beat in the yogurt, extracts, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. The batter will be fairly stiff.", "Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it to the edges.", "Stir the cranberry sauce to break up any clumps, and spread it atop the cake.", "Sprinkle the streusel evenly atop the cake.", "Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.", "Remove it from oven, and cool for 30 minutes before serving (or serve it hot from the oven, if you don't mind it crumbling a bit!).", "Yield: 2 dozen 2"" squares."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
