Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a small bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
-
Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, then lightly dust with 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour, tapping out any excess.
-
In a large bowl, cream softened margarine and 1 1/4 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg and egg white, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
-
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In another small bowl, mix together vanilla yogurt, applesauce, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
-
Add the flour mixture to the creamed margarine mixture alternately with the yogurt mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat well after each addition until just combined.
-
Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
-
Sprinkle the pecan-streusel mixture evenly over the batter.
-
Pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer.
-
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
-
Invert the cake onto a serving plate to remove from the pan. Allow it to cool completely.
-
For the glaze, whisk together sifted powdered sugar, skim milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and serve.
