Ingredients
  1. 1 cup butter, softened
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, divided
  4. 4 eggs, room temperature
  5. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  6. 3 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  8. 1 teaspoon salt
  9. 2 cups Greek yogurt
  10. 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  11. Confectioner's sugar, for dusting
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, alternating with the yogurt, stirring just enough until the batter is smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon with the remaining brown sugar until well combined.
  7. Pour 1/3 of batter into a buttered ten-inch tube pan or cake pan. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon mixture. Repeat again with another 1/3 of the batter, and the last of the cinnamon. End with batter on top.
  8. Bake for 60-65 minutes until browned and gently pulling away from the sides. Leave in pan for 10 minutes before allowing to cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar, serve and enjoy!
