Delicious Coffee Cake

I have been in the baking mood lately. Maybe because I get to stand beside the nice warm oven;)  Perfect compliment to a nice cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup butter-softened
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3 eggs
• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt

For brown sugar filling you'll need 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2-3/4 cups chopped nuts(I used a combo of walnuts and pecans), and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon. 

1. Make the brown sugar filling and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Grease your pan.  I used a 9 X 12 but you could also use a bundt cake pan. 
3. Beat the sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
5. Beat the flour mixture into the wet mixture alternately with the yogurt on a low speed. 
6. Spread 1/2 of the batter into the pan, sprinkle 1/2 of brown sugar filling and repeat. 
7. Bake for about an hour. 
8. Enjoy!
