Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping and Brown Sugar Glaze
Description
Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping and Brown Sugar Glaze brings together a tender, cinnamon-spiced cake paired with a rich, buttery crumble. The cake batter includes brown sugar and Greek yogurt, which adds moistness and a slight tang, while the cinnamon and baking soda enhance flavor and structure. The crumble topping is a mixture of sugars, cinnamon, salt, melted butter, and flour, providing a crisp texture that contrasts with the soft cake. After baking, a brown sugar glaze infuses additional sweetness and moisture. The result is a layered dessert that showcases the interplay of soft crumb and crunchy topping, complemented by the warm spices and sweet glaze.
The cake is baked in a 9×13 pan until golden and set, making it ideal for sharing or slicing into generous portions. The cinnamon-spiked crumble topping is sprinkled and gently pressed into the batter before baking, locking in its texture. The glaze's vanilla and brown sugar add a sticky, sweet finish. This coffee cake pairs nicely with a cup of black coffee or tea and serves well for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack, providing a satisfying combination of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick, at room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups brown sugar packed

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
For the crumb topping

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- To make the crumb topping, combine sugars, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in melted butter. Add flour and stir using a rubber spatula just until moist. Spread out mixture on parchment paper to dry until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Beat in vanilla until well combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, add Greek yogurt and dry ingredients alternately in 3 parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, beating just until incorporated.
- Scoop the batter evenly into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved topping, using your fingertips to gently press the crumbs into the batter.
- Place into oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- To make the glaze, combine brown sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons water. Whisk until smooth.
- When the cake is done, cool for 10 minutes and drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
- Serve warm.
