YOGURT COFFEE CAKE WITH CINNAMON STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
• Sift the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda) together and set aside.
• With an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar for a good 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition, then vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add in yogurt all at once, and mix to combine. It's fine if the batter is a little lumpy, it'll smooth out when you add the flour.
• Add the dry ingredients on low speed and mix until just combined. Turn off the mixer, and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and make sure all the flour is incorporated. Set aside while you make your streusel.
• Mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. With your fingertips, work the cold cubed butter into this mix. Add your chopped walnuts and mix a little.
• In a well greased bundt pan (see post above for greasing tips), layer the bottom with 1/3 of the streusel mixture.
• Dollop half the batter on top of this, and smooth out a little with a spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture, then add the remainder of the batter. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let it cool for 15-20 minutes, then flip bundt pan upside down over serving plate. Hit the back of the bundt cake pan gently with a wooden spoon for easier release. Once it's out of the pan, let it cool completely before glazing.

AWESOME YOGURT COFFEE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR-CINNAMON TOPPING

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.

GREEK YOGURT BANANA COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit and butter a 9 inch by 13 inch baking pan.
• Begin with the streusel. Melt the butter in a small bowl and set aside to cool.
• Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla in a small bowl, and pour the cooled butter on top.
• Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined, and large chunks remain. Set aside while you work on the cake.
• Sift together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
• In another medium sized bowl, add the bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla. Set aside.
• Using a hand mixer set to the highest speed, cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl until very light in both color and texture, about two to three minutes.
• Using the same blades, use the hand mixer to beat all of the wet ingredients together until homogenous. It may be a little chunky!
• Add the banana mixture to the butter mixture, beating until smooth and fluffy, another two minutes.
• Add half of the dry ingredients and beat until no ribbons of flour remain. Add in the other half and beat until completely combined. The batter will be thick!
• Pour the batter into your greased pan. Bake on the middle rack for 20 minutes.
• Pull the cake from the oven and sprinkle your reserved streusel on top, gently pressing it into the very top of the cake. Return the cake to the oven and continue baking until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake springs back when touched, about another 22 to 25 minutes.
• Move the cake to the top rack of the oven and set the oven setting to broil. If your oven doesn't have this setting, turn up the temperature to 450º Fahrenheit. Broil for 30 seconds to a minute. This gives the coffee cake a crunchy streusel topping.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Cut into 16 servings and dust with powdered sugar.

VANILLA YOGURT COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F [180 degrees C]. Generously grease a 10- to 12-cup [1.4- to 2.8-L] tube pan with nonstick cooking spray or softened butter and dust with flour, knocking out any excess.
• For the topping and swirl: Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl with a fork until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate, covered in plastic wrap, until ready to use.
• For the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, oil and vanilla on medium-low speed until well combined, stopping and scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula, as needed, 2 to 3 minutes. On low speed, add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, stopping and scraping the bowl after each addition.
• Add the dry ingredients on low speed in three additions, alternating with two additions of the yogurt, scraping the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula. Stop the mixer and remove the bowl when there are still streaks of flour in the batter. Finish mixing by hand.
• Transfer half of the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top with a small offset spatula or butter knife. Sprinkle half of the crumb mixture evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter and smooth the top again. Using your fingers, sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top of the cake, pressing down lightly.
• Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, rotating the pan at the halfway point. The cake is ready when a cake tester inserted in the center comes out with a moist crumb or two. Let cool to room temperature before removing from the pan. Run a paring knife around the edges to release the cake from the pan.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving. The cake will keep, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 3 days on the counter.
