Easy Rhubarb Coffee Cake

Topped with a buttery, cinnamon crumble, this easy rhubarb coffee cake is a stellar brunch treat or dessert.

Cake for breakfast is always a good idea if you ask me. This rhubarb coffee cake is loaded with a buttery cinnamon crumb topping. The greek yogurt keeps it moist with less fat than traditional sour cream, and with rhubarb season finally here, I am using it every chance I get.

The idea came from last weekend’s “what to cook” grapefruit crumb cake by melissa clark. we are big fans of crumb cake. any dessert disguised as breakfast is a ok. only, my kids are not big grapefruit fans and I had rhubarb left over from last week. My version was a hit!
