I had this cake at a friend's brunch and she graciously shared the recipe. Now people always request it from me, too. It's so tasty, it's always a hit. -Gale Lalmond, Deering, New Hampshire

Yield 9 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
BATTER:
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Mix sugar, coffee granules and cinnamon. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with yogurt, beating just until blended. (Batter will be thick.), Spread half of the batter evenly into a 8-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with half of the coffee mixture. Top with remaining batter; sprinkle with remaining coffee mixture. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl. Sprinkle with nuts., Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
