Category: Coffee Cake

2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon; 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp taking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350. Grease two 9 inch cake pans. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugars, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and salt. Combine mixture with butter with pastry blender or two knives until damp and crumbly.

Take out 3/4 cup of mixture and put it into a small bowl. Add remaining 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and walnuts. This will be the topping.

Put yogurt, egg, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla into a small bowl, beat with a fork until well mixed; stir in chocolate chips. Fold into the flour mixture in the large bowl.

Pour into prepared pans; sprinkle with the topping. Bake 20-25 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
