Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons melted salted butter (if you don’t have salted butter add 1/8 teaspoon salt)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (This is just for color, you can leave it out and it won't affect the taste at all.)
  • 6 tablespoons cinnamon applesauce
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1 ¼ cups skim milk
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12’’ round pan or 9" x 13" pan.
  • Prepare the topping by mixing together sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Once it is combined add melted butter, stirring until well combined. Set aside.
  • Prepare the filling by stirring together all of the ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.
  • Make coffee cake by beating together applesauce, butter, salt, sugars, baking powder, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the fat-free sour cream and skim milk until well combined.
  • Slowly alternate adding small amounts of the flour and milk mixture into the butter mixture until well combined.
  • Pour ½ of the coffee cake batter into the prepared pan.
  • Then sprinkle the filling evenly on top of the coffee cake batter.
  • Spread the remaining batter over the filling. Then use a knife to gently swirl the filling into the batter. Like you would when making a marble cake. Don’t over swirl it, because then you will mix the two and not see the swirl. I go through the cake once and call it good.
  • Now sprinkle the topping evenly over the coffee cake.
  • Place in pre-heated oven and bake 55-60 minutes or until the cake until has dark golden brown edges; and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • *Tip to tell if it is done, press gently in the middle if it springs back it is done.
  • Once coffee cake is done remove from oven and cool for 20-30 minutes.
  • Cut, serve and devour!
