Ingredients

For the streusel:
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter at room temperature, unsalted
For the cake:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the streusel, line a quarter baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and cinnamon until combined. Using your fingers, rub in room temperature butter until incorporated and large clumps form when you press the mixture together. Spread onto prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 20 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8 x 8 metal baking pan and line with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the edges for easy removal.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  4. In another large bowl, stir together oil and the sugars. Whisk in the eggs until combined, then stir in the yogurt and vanilla.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with chilled streusel.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown, the center is firm when lightly touched, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Store finished coffee cake sealed at room temperature and consume within four days.
  • Chilling streusel before baking helps achieve a crisper topping texture.
  • Use parchment paper with overhang to lift cake easily from pan.
  • Check doneness by ensuring the center is firm but not dry before removing from oven.
