Step-by-Step Instructions for Tender Rhubarb Coffee Cake
- Prepare the Streusel: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate while proceeding to next steps.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with butter.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar, then beat until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Mix in Wet Ingredients: Add plain Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and stir gently until just combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients.
- Assemble the Cake: Spread the batter into the prepared pan, layer with rhubarb and sprinkle streusel on top.
- Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Cool and Serve: Allow to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes
Toss rhubarb with flour before adding to batter to prevent sinking. Chill the streusel before baking for a crunchy texture. Test doneness with a toothpick in the center of the cake.
