Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- For the streusel: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, grated
- For the cream cheese layer: 6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–3 teaspoons instant coffee, to your taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl: Beat together the salted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add in Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring they’re fully combined after each addition. Gradually add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and kosher salt. Slowly mix in brewed coffee until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl: Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. In another medium bowl: Mix remaining flour with the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. Add grated cold butter using your fingers to create a crumbly texture.
- Spoon half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over this layer. Dollop warmed cream cheese on top of the cinnamon sugar layer; spread it evenly. Carefully spoon remaining batter over cream cheese layer, smoothing it out gently. Top with streusel mixture evenly across the surface.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow cooling for 30 minutes before inverting onto a plate: Flip it back upright onto your serving plate. For glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, whole milk, vanilla extract, and instant coffee until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake; let set for about 10 minutes before serving.
