Cinnamon Coffee Cake : page 214

I used to make this cake on a regular basis and found myself revisiting the recipe when I needed to produce something quickly that would appeal to a lot of people ie no nuts, no fruit, no chocolate…

The cake is relatively low in fat – only ¼ cup butter and 1 egg for a 9” square pan – relying on yogurt to provide moistness. In the past, I’ve used 1% or 2% plain yogurt but I only had zero fat Greek yogurt on hand. It worked.

The cake was as moist and tasty as I remembered it with a caramel flavour and a crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping.
