Equipment

13 x 9-inch baking dish
Electric hand mixer
mixing bowls
rubber spatula
Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

Topping:

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter melted
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder

Cake:

2½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1½ cups sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature
1⅓ cups nonfat yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Topping:

Mix sugars, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl
and stir to blend.
Pour melted butter over top of sugar mixture and stir
to blend.
Add flour and toss with fork until moist clumps form. Set
aside.

Cake:

Preheat to 350°F.
Coat a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder,
and salt into medium bowl.
Using electric hand mixer, beat
room-temperature butter in large bowl until smooth.
Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until well blended
after each addition. Add sour cream and vanilla extract and stir until
blended. Do not over stir.
Add flour mixture in ½ cup at a time, beating
just until incorporated after each addition.
Spread cake batter to prepared baking dish and even with rubber spatula or back of a large
spoon. Squeeze small handfuls of topping together to form small clumps.
Drop clumps evenly over cake batter, covering completely. Be sure to use
all of the topping – it will be thick, but that is how you want it to
be.
Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean and topping is deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 1 hour.
Cool cake in dish on rack at least 30 minutes.
