Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Streusel:
2/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
2/3 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly
1/2 cup pecans, toasted , coarsely chopped
Cake:
2 cups all purpose flour
11/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup whole-milk or reduced-fat
(2%) plain Greek-style yogurt*

Steps:

  • For streusel:
  • Combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add melted butter; toss with fork to blend. Using fingertips, rub mixture together until small clumps form. Mix in pecans. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  • For cake:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Combine flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in medium bowl; whisk to blend. Using electric mixer, beat brown sugar, butter, and vanilla in large bowl until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add half of flour mixture; beat just until blended. Add yogurt; beat just until blended. Beat in remaining flour mixture just until blended.
  • Spoon half of batter into prepared baking pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle half of streusel evenly over batter. Spoon remaining batter in dollops over streusel, then spread evenly over with offset spatula. Sprinkle remaining streusel evenly over top.
  • Bake cake until streusel topping is brown and tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
  • A thick yogurt; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Greek markets. If unavailable, spoon regular yogurt into cheesecloth-lined strainer set over large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight to drain.

This coffee cake was just okay. The streusel topping was good, but the cake itself was a little dry.

This coffee cake was bland and boring. The streusel topping was tasteless and the cake itself was like a sponge.

This coffee cake was so dry, I could barely swallow it. The streusel topping was like sand and the cake itself was like sawdust.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this coffee cake was a complete disaster. The streusel topping was burnt and the cake was raw in the middle.

This coffee cake was a waste of time and ingredients. It was dry, flavorless, and the streusel topping was like cardboard.

I followed the recipe exactly and the coffee cake turned out terrible. The streusel topping was too thick and the cake was underbaked.

This coffee cake was a disappointment. The streusel topping was dry and crumbly, and the cake itself was dry and flavorless.

I've made this coffee cake several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The streusel topping is the star of the show, but the cake itself is also delicious and moist.

This was the perfect breakfast treat! The streusel topping was crispy and flavorful, and the cake was moist and fluffy. I loved the hint of cinnamon in the cake batter.
