Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake

Mmmm.. Who loves coffee cake? I do! I do! 

This coffee cake is my rendition of Panera Bread's Cinnamon Coffee Cake. I will still have to work on the swirl aspect of this cake to make it look like Panera but in the mean time grab a cup of tea or coffee and a fork. This coffee cake was delicious! The hubby was even busted with an empty plate over on his side of the bed from a late night snacking session after I was asleep!

 Good thing the pictures were taken before anyone was able to grab a slice! 

This didn't last long in our house!

The cake is a moist coffee cake with a crunchy crumb crust! Can you say deliciousness?

Grease a 10 inch tube pan with butter set aside.

Place all ingredients for crumb topping into a mixing bowl and mix on low for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat until well combined.

Crumb topping will look like this. Remove to a small bowl and set aside. No need to rinse the mixing bowl.

For Cake: Add butter and both sugars to mixing bowl and mix on medium speed until fully combined and light and fluffy. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.

Add eggs one at a time mixing on medium until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of bowl between additions.

Add vanilla. Beat until combined.

Add baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Mix until combined. Scrape sides of bowl.

Add greek yogurt. Mix on medium until combined.

Add all of the flour and mix on low until combined. Do not over mix.

 For Coffee Swirl: In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup cake batter with 1/2 cup cinnamon crumb topping.

Add 4 tablespoons coffee and mix until well combined.

Add 3/4 of the cake batter to the tube pan, top with coffee swirl then cover with remaining cake batter. Use a knife and make s-shaped swirls around the edge of the cake pan.

Cake will look something like this.

Take remaining cinnamon crumb topping and squeeze between fingers to form crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean.

Bon Appetite!
