GREEK STYLE COFFEE CAKE

GREEK STYLE YOGURT COFFEE CAKE

(I use this a a bread, by lowering the sugar content, below half of what it asks for, or even more. Very nice with  potatoe soup)

CAKE:
1 cup greek style yogurt (I used the one with honey )
1 tsp baking soda mixed in the yogurt

½ cup softened margarine
¾ cup sugar, or less, if you wish
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour, half whole wheat
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt

TOPPING: ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon

(You can add nuts if you wish, but I don’t)

DIRECTIONS:  Combine everything for cake , except the baking soda infused yogurt. Once the rest is mixed well, then fold in the yogurt mixture.

Pile  half in an 8 inch cake pan, then sprinkle half the Topping mixture, top with rest of cake batter, and sprinkle with rest of Topping.

Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Just be sure to test for doneness at about 30 minutes. It may surprise you! This is lovely to use as a bread….just lower the sugar content a little. Does not hurt the cake at all.
