Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the Greek yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, then add the milk and stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup flour to make the streusel topping. Add chopped walnuts if using.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the streusel mixture.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a more indulgent treat, drizzle with a glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
- This coffee cake pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect breakfast or snack.
- If you don’t have Greek yogurt, regular yogurt or sour cream can be used as a substitute.
