Ingredients
Coffee Cake
- 3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 1/3 c. packed light brown sugar
- 2 t. pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3 3/4 c. flour
- 2 1/2 t. baking powder
- 1 1/4 t. salt
- 3/4 c. yogurt
- 1 1/4 c. milk
Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Filling
- 1 c. packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 T ground cinnamon
- 1 t. nutmeg
- 1/2 t. salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- To make the topping: whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Use your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the butter is in pea-sized lumps.
- To make the filling: whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
- To make the cake: in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars together until combined, about 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
- Add the eggs, one at a time. Scrape sides down.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a nother small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and milk. It may be a bit lumpy, but that’s okay. On low speed, add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the batter. Add half of the yogurt/milk mixture. Add another 1/3 of the flour mixture and the remainder of the yogurt mixture, Mix until barely incorporated and add the remaining flour. Finish incorporating the dry ingredients with a spatula to ensure that all of the flour is well incorporated.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan all the way to the edges. Sprinkle the filling on top of the batter.
- Dollop the remaining batter across the top of the filing and use the back of a tablespoon to spread batter across pan. Using a skewer, gently swirl the filling into the batter. Just a few strokes is all it takes.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter and bake the cake until it’s golden brown, 55-60 minutes. Use a skewer to test for doneness; when it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 20-30 minutes before serving.
