Coffee Cake

Instructions

Batter

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

  • 2 egg whites

  • 2 Tbsp brewed strong coffee

  • 1 tsp chocolate syrup

  • 1/3 cup milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1 1/2 cups flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

Streusel

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 3 Tbsp flour

  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon

  • 2 1/2 tsp unsweetened baking cocoa

  • 2 Tbsp butter, softened

  • 2 Tbsp brewed strong coffee, mixed with one packet instant coffee granules

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

  • 2/3 cup quick oats

Drizzle

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1 Tbsp butter, melted

  • 2 Tbsp brewed strong coffee

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1–2 tsp milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Generously spray a 9-inch round cake pan with butter-flavored cooking spray.

  3. In a small bowl, mix sugar, yogurt, egg whites, coffee, chocolate syrup, milk and vanilla until well blended.

  4. In a larger bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt until blended. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir until combined. Spread into prepared pan; set aside.

  5. For the streusel: mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and cocoa. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork; stir in coffee, walnuts and oats (mixture will be thick and lumpy).

  6. Top cake with streusel. With a knife, slightly swirl in the streusel, being careful not to overmix. Bake 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove and cool.

  7. For the drizzle: mix vanilla, butter and coffee. Mix in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time. If too thick, add milk 1 tsp at a time to reach drizzle consistency.

  8. Cut and drizzle individual slices; serve warm.

Makes 8 servings.
