CINNAMON-STREUSEL COFFEECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan, or two 9" round cake pans.
• Make the filling by mixing together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Note that the cocoa powder is used strictly for color, not flavor; leave it out if you like. Set it aside.
• To make the cake: In a large bowl, beat together the butter, salt, sugars, baking powder, and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream or yogurt and milk till well combined. You don't need to whisk out all the lumps.
• Add the flour to the butter mixture alternately with the milk/sour cream mixture, beating gently to combine.
• Pour/spread half the batter (a scant 3 cups) into the prepared pan(s), spreading all the way to the edges. If you're using two 9" round pans, spread 1 1/3 cups batter in each pan.
• Sprinkle the filling evenly atop the batter.
• Spread the remaining batter atop the filling. Use a table knife to gently swirl the filling into the batter, as though you were making a marble cake. Don't combine filling and batter thoroughly; just swirl the filling through the batter.
• Sprinkle the topping over the batter in the pan.
• Bake the cake until it's a dark golden brown around the edges; medium-golden with no light patches showing on top, and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes for the 9" x 13" pan, 50 to 55 minutes for the 9" round pans. When pressed gently in the middle, the cake should spring back.
• Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 minutes before cutting and serving. Serve cake right from the pan.
• Note: For those of you looking for a cake with less filling, one where the golden cake itself is the main attraction, reduce the amount of brown sugar in the fillng to 1/4 cup, keeping the remaining ingredients the same.
