LIGHTER COFFEE CAKE WITH YOGURT, PECANS, AND RAISINS
I wanted to make a lighter version of the traditional coffee cake, and came up with this recipe. We loved it at home! We eat it as a snack or at breakfast. This is a delicious alternative to the traditionally butter- and sour cream-heavy coffee cake. The raisins add a lovely fruity bite, and applesauce, coconut oil, and nonfat yogurt give the cake a lighter, naturally sweetened taste. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep moist outside of the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Steps:
- Stir together pecans, white sugar, and brown sugar for the pecan topping in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
- Combine brown sugar, applesauce, coconut oil, and butter for the coffee cake in a large bowl. Mix with a spatula until butter is almost completely mixed in, with some chunks remaining. Mix in yogurt, sour cream, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Add all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, remaining 1 teaspoon baking soda, and salt; stir until batter is well mixed and a light brown color. Stir in raisins until evenly distributed in the batter; batter will be thick.
- Scoop 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly so it is flat. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the pecan topping. Repeat with remaining batter and pecan topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 48 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack and then flip carefully so the sugary pecan-topped side remains on top. Serve warm.

VANILLA YOGURT COFFEE CAKE
Successful Baking for Flavor and Texture (1934) won me over with its gorgeous pink cover. I found a simple coffee cake recipe there and I substituted oil for the butter and added a couple of egg yolks to make it as moist as possible. With Greek yogurt so popular these days, I decided to use it instead of buttermilk--it gives the cake a wonderful tang. I also added a generous amount of vanilla (strangely, the original recipe called for none!). A buttery brown sugar-cinnamon crumb that goes both inside and on top of the cake (and can be doubled if you're all about the topping and swirl) rounds out this perfect breakfast treat.

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.
Tips:
- For a lighter texture, use plain yogurt instead of sour cream.
- If you don't have pecans, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
- For a sweeter coffee cake, add 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
- If you prefer a more moist coffee cake, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk to the batter.
- For a crispy streusel topping, use cold butter and flour.
- To prevent the streusel topping from burning, sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar before baking.
- Let the coffee cake cool completely before serving.
Conclusion:
This lighter coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time. With its moist crumb, sweet streusel topping, and nutty pecan flavor, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit.
