Instructions
To make the topping:
- In a large bowl whisk together the flours, oats, pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
- Using your hands, rub the butter into the mixture, breaking it up into pea-sized clumps. Add the apples, cranberries, and crystalized ginger; toss well to combine.
- Refrigerate the topping until butter is solid again, about 25 minutes.
While the topping is in the fridge, prepare the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350° (F). Generously grease a 9 X 13 inch baking pan; set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment OR in a large bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the butter with the sugars and orange zest on medium speed until fluffy; about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the sour cream and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer speed on low, beat the dry ingredients into the batter until just combined. Be sure not to over mix!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
- Cover with the apple cranberry topping. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden brown and a cake-tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out with just a few crumbs attached. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the cake cool completely before cutting; about 45 minutes.
When the cake is ready to serve, make your glaze:
- Combine confectioners' sugar with orange juice or water, and stir to combine. The mixture should be thick but easy to drizzle. If it's too thick, add a little more juice/water, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Cut cake into squares, drizzle with glaze, and serve.
