STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE
Ingredients
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup rolled oats
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled butter
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1 medium apple, peeled, cored, chopped
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Combine first 3
ingredients in small bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup chilled butter using fingers or pastry
blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Set streusel mixture aside.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking
soda and nutmeg into large bowl. Using electronic mixer, cream 3/4 cup butter
and 1 1/3 cups sugar together in another large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at
a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Fold in dry
ingredients alternately with plain yogurt, beginning and ending with dry
ingredients. Pour about 1 1/2 cups batter into bottom of each prepared pan.
Sprinkle 1/3 cup streusel over each. Sprinkle 1/4 of apple over each. Divide
remaining batter, streusel and apple between pans, beginning with batter. Run
small sharp knife through batter to create swirl. Bake until golden brown and
toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool on rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes 2.
