Step-by-Step Instructions for Carrot Cake Coffee Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Mix together before adding melted butter and stirring until crumbly.
- Grate fresh carrots until you have about 2 cups and set aside.
- Cream together room-temperature butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, then Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in grated carrots and golden raisins using a spatula.
- Layer half the batter in the dish, drizzle melted cream cheese in dollops, and sprinkle with half the crumble. Repeat layering with remaining batter and crumble.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Cool for 15-20 minutes, then slice into squares and serve.

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a fluffier cake. Avoid overmixing to maintain light texture. Melted cream cheese should be spooned in dollops for even swirls.
