Instructions

to make the cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Add yogurt, eggs, oil, vanilla and cinnamon, and mix to combine.
  • Add flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until smooth.
  • Spread into prepared baking dish. Set aside.

to make the topping:

  • Combine butter, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Spread over cake batter, like you would if you were frosting a cake.
  • Then swirl topping into the batter with a butter knife.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until topping is set and toothpick comes out of center clean.
  • Let cool for 25 minutes.

to make the glaze:

  • In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Beat with hand mixer until smooth.
  • Drizzle over cooled coffee cake.
  • Serve and enjoy!
