Coffee Swirl Yogurt Cake Recipes

VANILLA YOGURT COFFEE CAKE

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.

YOGURT COFFEE CAKE WITH CINNAMON STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
• Sift the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda) together and set aside.
• With an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar for a good 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition, then vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add in yogurt all at once, and mix to combine. It's fine if the batter is a little lumpy, it'll smooth out when you add the flour.
• Add the dry ingredients on low speed and mix until just combined. Turn off the mixer, and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and make sure all the flour is incorporated. Set aside while you make your streusel.
• Mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. With your fingertips, work the cold cubed butter into this mix. Add your chopped walnuts and mix a little.
• In a well greased bundt pan (see post above for greasing tips), layer the bottom with 1/3 of the streusel mixture.
• Dollop half the batter on top of this, and smooth out a little with a spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture, then add the remainder of the batter. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let it cool for 15-20 minutes, then flip bundt pan upside down over serving plate. Hit the back of the bundt cake pan gently with a wooden spoon for easier release. Once it's out of the pan, let it cool completely before glazing.
