Streusel Coffee Cake, No Butter Nutty Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake. Lite recipe for Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake with nutty pecans/walnuts. Easy to make and the entire recipe can be put together in minutes. I love love anything streusel. Streusel is nothing but a topping that goes on top of the cake. This is a very very tender cake with a crunchy topping. Cinnamon topping adds a great depth of flavor to this cake. This is so easy to make that you can put everything together in less than 30 minutes. This cake has a pecan cinnamon streusel topping. Walnuts can be substituted for pecans. Mix all of the streusel topping ingredients except pecans by hand in a medium bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Stir in the chopped pecans and set aside.
Now for the Cake: The Dry Ingredients: Whisk Flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, both the sugars and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Wet Ingredients: Whisk yogurt, egg and oil in a bowl until smooth and combined. Gently fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture until combined. The important thing about the cake batter is to mix ingredients only until just combined. Over mixing the batter can result in a very dense cake. Butter and flour a 6 inch round pan. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle topping evenly on top of the batter. Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes clean. Roughly about 30 minutes. Cool the cake on a wire rack for 15 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
