Ok, so I really like coffee cake. Last Saturday I made the best coffee cake I have EVER had. It was incredible!! If you have a lazy morning.... make this and enjoy.

Let me know how it turns out!

Breakfast Coffee Cake

1 1/2
cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup nutlike cereal nuggets (such as Grape-Nuts, oatmeal, granola)
2 teaspoons instant espresso granules
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 7 3/4 ounces)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vanilla fat-free yogurt (about 8 ounces)
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons cooled brewed coffee

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cereal, espresso granules, and cinnamon in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Set aside.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, remaining 1 cup granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add yogurt, butter, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer on low speed 1 minute or until combined. Spread half of batter into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cereal mixture; top with remaining half of batter. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean; cool in pan.

Combine powdered sugar and coffee in a small bowl; spread glaze evenly over top of cake. Cut into 12 pieces.

one of my friends made it. it turned out good. and honestly, i don't think she even lightly spooned the flour. i think it was kind of a heavy spoon that she was using. that girl.
