Bake, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Combine powdered sugar and milk; drizzle over warm coffee cake.

STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Cake
3/4 cup homemade unsalted butter, softened
1-1/2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 tsp salt
2 tsp homemade pure vanilla extract
3 eggs
3/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
3-3/4 cup flour
2-1/2 tsp baking powder
1-1/4 cup milk

Filling
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1-1/2 TBS cinnamon

Combine ingredients, mix and set aside.

Cinnamon Streusel

1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp cinnamon
3 TBS homemade unsalted butter, melted

PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Grease a tube pan (angel food cake pan), or 9x13 inch pan.

For the cake, beat the butter, sugars, salt and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the yogurt and mix.

In a small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together. Add this mixture alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour.

Spoon half of the batter (scant 3 cups) into the prepared baking pan, spreading it completely to the edges. Sprinkle the filling evenly over the batter. Spoon remaining batter over the filling, spreading to the edges. Sprinkle with streusel topping.

Bake cake until it is dark golden brown around the edges and springs back when pressed gently, approximately 50 to 60 minutes for the 9x13 inch pan. For the tube pan; 60 to 70 minutes. Cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
