Ingredients:
Cake
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Greek yogurt, at room temperature
Topping
1 /2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tbsp confectioners sugar to sprinkle on top
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a bread pan or use parchment paper
To make the cake: Beat together the butter, sugar, and eggs. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture as well as the yogurt, stirring well. The texture will be airy, almost like cream cheese.
To make the topping: Combine all of the topping ingredients, stirring until evenly crumbly.
Spread half the batter in the pan, and sprinkle with half the topping mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter and topping.
Bake the coffeecake for 35-40 minutes, the top should be browned but inside still a bit doughy (cook more towards 40 minutes if you don’t want the doughy center)
Take the cake out and wait 10 minutes to remove from the pan to avoid it breaking.
Pour confectioners sugar in a small sifter and sift on to the cake until completely covered, be generous with this!
