Delicious Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Hubby found this recipe in a book and changed it up a bit to come up with this version. It's a very simple recipe and not a fancy coffee cake, but the kids love it! In fact, they're the ones who gave it this name!

1 1/2 c flour
3/4 c wheat flour [may substitute regular flour (in addition to the previously listed 1 1/2 c)]
3/4 c sugar
3 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3 eggs
1 c plain yogurt
1/2 c milk

Topping:
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp butter, melted

Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, beat together eggs, milk, and yogurt. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients and beat well. Spread batter in greased 13x9" pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 min or til toothpick comes out clean.* Meanwhile, mix together first 3 topping ingredients. Immediately upon removing cake from oven, brush entire top with melted butter and sprinkle with dry topping mixture. Return pan to oven for 1 min, then cool.

*You can also make the recipe into muffins. Follow directions above except grease muffin pan or line with muffin cups. Fill about half full. (Muffins will rise quite a bit.) Bake at 425 degrees for 15 min. Continue with directions above for topping. Makes 1 1/2 - 2 dozen muffins.

Natalia, I'll try to remember to take one the next time we have it. The problem is, it gets gobbled up so quickly! :)

This sounds good. I love cinnamon, and cinnamon coffee cake? Haven't had that in forever. I think I'll do this tomorrow for after Sunday dinner.
