Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F and line a 9×9″ baking pan with parchment paper.
Add all of the crumble ingredients to a medium bowl. Use your hands to clump the ingredients together until a wet, sand-like texture forms. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add all cake ingredients (except greek yogurt!) until very smooth. Then, fold in the greek yogurt to the batter.
Pour half the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle on a layer of crumble. Layer in the remaining half of the batter, then finish the top with the remaining crumble mixture.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick slid through the center comes out clean and it no longer jiggles.
Let cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

For the Cake:

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly grease and flour an 8 x 8" baking dish.
To make the streusel, whisk the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter or fork (or your fingers) cut in cold butter cubes until mixture forms small crumbs. Refrigerate until you're ready to top the cake.
To make the cake batter, beat together the oil, Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl with a hand mixer or whisk. You can also use a stand mixer.
Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined and moistened, scraping down the sides when needed.
Spread half of the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.
Spread remaining cake batter over the streusel, then sprinkle with remaining streusel.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few dampened crumbs on it. Cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Careful not to over-mix the batter once you add the flour to avoid a tough crumb.
Use a metal pan for more even baking. Ceramic dishes tend to bake the outside more quickly than the center, resulting in dry edges.
Careful not to over-bake, as the cake will dry out if it's in the oven too long.
