HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

02

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

03

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

04

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

05

Fold in the plain whole milk yogurt, 1/4 cup of honey, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

06

Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch round baking pan. Bake at 350°F/175°C for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

07

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with additional honey before serving.

Chef's Tips

For an extra aromatic touch, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or cardamom to the dry ingredients. Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.

Easy Substitutions

Almonds or pecans can be used instead of walnuts. Greek yogurt can be substituted for whole milk yogurt, but the cake might be slightly denser. For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt and butter.
