Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 oz almond paste, crumbled
  • 1/8 tsp pure almond extract
  • 2 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp pure almond extract
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup apricot jam

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray; dust lightly with flour.
  • For the crumb topping, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and crumbled almond paste in a medium bowl. Add almond extract and cubed butter; toss with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Chill until ready to use.
  • For the cake, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter, sugar, and almond extract in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and yolk one at a time and beat well. Combine yogurt and buttermilk in a small bowl. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with yogurt mixture (begin and end with flour mixture).
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Place jam in a small bowl and microwave briefly (about 10 seconds); whisk to loosen. Dollop jam by teaspoons over batter and swirl together with a toothpick or wooden skewer; tap pan sharply to remove air bubbles. Sprinkle with chilled topping.
  • Bake for 40 to 44 minutes, until coffee cake is golden, springs back to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
