Pre Heat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt pan with cooking spray.
Combine your first 3 ingredients and set aside.
In a mixing bowl combine sugar and butter. Beat with a mixer until well blended. Now add your egg and beat for 3 minutes. Add in your yogurt, pumpkin and vanilla and beat until incorporated.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together and make a well in center of the mixture. Now add your sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
Now grab your brown sugar mixture you combined earlier. Set aside 3 tablespoons in a separate bowl. .Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture over the batter. Gently fold the batter 4 times.
Pour batter into your greased bundt pan, and sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let your cake cool completely before turning out onto a serving plate.
If you wish to glaze your coffee cake combine your powdered sugar and juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and drizzle over the top of your cooled coffee cake!
Slice and enjoy!
