Layers of cinnamon and brown sugar swirl throughout this simple cake; great for a weekend breakfast. The greek yogurt adds moisture and reduces the guilt!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, divided
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- Confectioner's sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and 1 cup of brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, alternating with the yogurt, stirring just enough until the batter is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon with the remaining brown sugar until well combined.
- 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.
