Yogurt - Pecan Coffee Cake
Topping:
* 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 1 Tablespoon flour
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 2 Tablespoons butter
* 1 cup chopped pecans
Cake batter:
* 1/2 cup (1/4 pound) butter
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 3 eggs
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup plain yogurt
* 1/2 cup golden raisins
Prepare topping first: Mix together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture has the consistency of corn meal. Finally, mix in chopped pecans. Set aside.
Cake batter: In an electric mixer or food processor, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix flour thoroughly with baking powder, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with yogurt, making 3 equal additions of each and blending. Sprinkle raisins over the top and stir in.
Spread mixture in a greased baking pan (9 x 13 x 2 inches). Sprinkle with pecan topping. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Cut in squares and serve hot or cold.
Serves: 12 to 18.
Variations: Walnuts or Hazelnuts can be substituted for pecans. Sour cream can be substituted for yogurt.
