Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • BATTER:
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) plain yogurt

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar, coffee granules and cinnamon; set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with yogurt, beating just until combined.
  • Spread half of the batter evenly into a 9-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with half of the reserved sugar mixture. Repeat layers; cut through batter with a knife to swirl. Sprinkle with nuts.
  • Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 9 servings.

Delicious. I made mine in a round cake pan and cut it like a pie. We tried some warm last night and didn't think it was anything special, but it was delicious the next morning!

The cake was very moist!

This recipe was pretty good, not too sweet. I found there wasn't enough batter to split in half when using a 9x9 pan, so I'd suggest using an 8x8 instead.

This is great! Light and not terribly sweet.

I bet you could substitute sour cream. That's in a lot of coffee cake recipes. I'd use fat free sour cream which is more of the consistency of yogurt. If you're trying to get away from dairy, maybe Nasoy's vanilla soft tofu would work. PammieJ.
