Made over Rhubarb Coffee Cake image

A tasty rhubarb coffee cake that is just as good for dessert as it is for breakfast! The cake is reduced fat and sugar, plus adds wheat flour for whole grain goodness. The low-fat vanilla yogurt gives the cake its moist texture. It's a snap to put together and makes enough for a crowd. I often bring it for dessert to potluck picnics in the spring during rhubarb season.

This coffee cake is the perfect combination of tart and sweet. The rhubarb adds a lovely flavor and the streusel topping is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this coffee cake several times now and it's always a hit. The rhubarb gives it a unique flavor that everyone loves. I usually add a little extra cinnamon to the streusel topping for an extra kick.
