Ingredients

For the coffee cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Bonne Maman Golden Plum Mirabelle Preserves
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

For the Browned Butter Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut in the butter and yogurt until the mixture is full of course crumbs.
  • Stir in the milk until just combined.
  • Dump the dough mixture onto a large sheet of parchment paper and knead until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
  • Roll the dough out on the parchment paper to about 9 inches wide by 12 inches long. Lightly score the dough lengthwise into thirds.
  • In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, preserves, and cinnamon. Spread along the center third of the dough.
  • Use a knife to make diagonal cuts 1 inch wide down each of the outer thirds of the dough. Fold strips alternately across the preserves at an angle.
  • Transfer the parchment paper with the coffee cake to a baking sheet.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • Allow to cool.
  • To make the glaze, melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Continue cooking butter about 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Pour the butter into a small mixing bowl and add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and milk to the butter. Stir to combine.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled coffee cake.
