Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and yogurt until smooth and combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using) to create the cinnamon-sugar filling.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
Add the remaining cake batter on top and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top as the final layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
