Ingredients

½ cup salted butter melted
1 & ½ cups sugar
4 large eggs room temperature
½ cup plain Greek yogurt room temperature
¼ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Crumb Topping/Filling:

2/3 cup light brown sugar packed
2/3 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons salted butter melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare your Bundt pan by wiping it down with butter, or by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer or in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine your melted butter and sugar. On medium speed, mix together until they are homogenous.
½ cup salted butter, 1 & ½ cups sugar
Add all of the eggs and mix again on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
4 large eggs
Add the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla to the mixture and whisk on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth.
½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Slowly add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon while constantly stirring the ingredients together until you have a smooth batter. Set aside
3 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
In a medium bowl, create your cinnamon sugar filling by combining the brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until uniform.
2/3 cup light brown sugar, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pour half of your batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out.
Sprinkle in roughly ½ of your cinnamon sugar filling before adding the rest of the cake batter and smooth out the top.
Bake your cake for 45-50 minutes. Allow the Bundt cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
While your cake is cooling, add the melted butter to the remainder of your cinnamon sugar filling to create a crumb topping.
2 tablespoons salted butter
Generously sprinkle the top of your snickerdoodle cake with the cinnamon crumb topping, slice, and serve!

Notes

Always make sure your eggs and Greek yogurt are at room temperature before mixing.
Use a rubber spatula to ensure you get every bit of the batter from the sides of the bowl.
When pouring in the dry ingredients, add them gradually to avoid any lumps.
Check the center of the cake with a butter knife or toothpick to see if it’s fully baked. If it comes out clean, you’re good to go!
When sprinkling the crumb topping, make sure the cake has cooled a bit so it sticks nicely.
To ensure the cake doesn't stick to the pan, generously grease with butter or cooking spray (the kind with flour in it). Take a pastry brush and brush all over the pan to make sure it gets into every crack and crevice.
