AWESOME YOGURT COFFEE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR-CINNAMON TOPPING

Awesome Yogurt Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Topping image

This coffee cake with yogurt has become a family favorite for breakfast. Just the right amount of sweetness with a firm, moist, flavorful cake. I have tried this recipe using different flavors of yogurt - although many seem to have no effect on flavor, the lemon is my favorite.

Ingredients

1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup softened butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake:
cooking spray
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup yogurt
¾ cup softened butter
2 eggs
⅓ cup milk
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

Mix together brown sugar, walnuts, pecans, flour, butter, and cinnamon for the topping in a bowl until crumbly; set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
Combine sugar, yogurt, butter, eggs, milk, baking powder, and salt for the cake in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Slowly mix in flour until combined; batter will be thick. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Generously spread 1/2 of the brown sugar-cinnamon topping over top. Top with remaining batter and then remaining topping.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack, then place brown sugar-cinnamon side up on a plate to serve.
