Name: Greek Yogurt Coffee Cake
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups AP flour spooned and leveled; 2 eggs; 10 tablespoons of butter melted and cooled; 1 cup Greek yogurt; 3/4 cup granulated sugar; 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; Cinnamon Topping and Filling:; 1/2 cup light brown sugar; 2 tablespoons of butter melted; 1 1/2 tablespoons of cinnamon (if you are not a fan of cinnamon use half this amount . Our amount used will produce a bolder flavor in cinnamon that we prefer); 4-1/2 tablespoons of flour

You may have seen many coffee cakes in the past on my page, however using Greek Yogurt is a game changer in texture and flavor with a rich batter and super moist crumb.

The cake really was a shock that we all liked it better than the Sour Cream Coffee Cake version or our Coconut Flour Coffee Cake it's just so delicious.

This coffee cake really tastes like it's made from scratch and the sour cream keeps it moist plus that cinnamon streusel sinks in the middle while baking to have a sensational flavored topping.

Over the years we have made several coffee cakes including Sour Cream Coffee Cake cupcakes, (a cake mix version) so you can see we are huge fans of breakfast-style coffee cakes you may have tried our Blueberry Coffee Breakfast Cake.

Besides using Greek yogurt the rest of the ingredients are easy to find and simple pantry ingredients.

This recipe is a great addition to all the rest of coffee cake recipes I've tried and I think you will love this one as well.
