- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; set filling aside.To make cake:
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, salt, sugars, baking powder and vanilla until combined and smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In another bowl, whisk together yogurt and milk. Add flour in increments, and mix until combined. Add to butter mixture; stir until combined.To put it all together:
- Pour half the batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly and pressing into corners. Sprinkle filling over batter. Carefully spread remaining batter over filling. Using a butter knife, gently swirl mixture to make a few marbles. Do not completely swirl the batter and filling. Sprinkle topping over the top.
