Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, cold
• 0.5 cups pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch (or similar) baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, stir together the melted butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, make the streusel topping by combining the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped cold butter. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans, if using.

Step 6

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.

Step 7

Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the streusel layer and spread evenly. Top with the remaining streusel mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.

Step 10

Slice into squares and enjoy! Pair with coffee or tea for a cozy treat.
