directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
Make the crumb mixture. Add the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, maple sugar powder, freshly grated nutmeg, and cubed butter to a medium size bowl. Use your fingers to combine until you have small, shaggy, pea sized crumbs. Set to the side for now.
Make the cake batter. First add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Next, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light in color. Then add in the eggs, vanilla bean, and yogurt and mix to combine.
Slowly add the flour mixture in and use a rubber spatula to mix. Be sure to not over mix the batter during this step!
Spread half of the cake batter to your prepared baking pan. Top with half of the crumb mixture. Then, add the rest of the cake batter and carefully spread. Top with the remaining crumb mixture and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Let your coffee cake cool in the baking pan for 20 minutes, then remove and let it cool to room temperature. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
