Directions

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease a baking pan with 1 teaspoon of butter, and set aside.
Beat the eggs in a bowl.
Add the oil and mix well.
Then add the yogurt and beat again.
Add the sugar, flour, and cinnamon, and continue beating.
Fold in the 1 cup (125 g) of chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes.
In a small pan, combine the brown sugar, milk, and the remaining butter (about 3 tbsp minus 1 tsp).
Let it melt and boil for 1 minute while gently stirring.
Remove the cake from the oven, drizzle with the caramel, and sprinkle with the remaining walnut halves.

Recipe Tips

•

To enhance the caramel flavor in your cake, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel mixture. This will balance the sweetness and bring out the rich flavors of the walnuts and brown sugar.

•

When greasing the pan, use the butter to also dust the pan with a light layer of flour after greasing. This will prevent the cake from sticking and ensure an easy release after baking.

•

Be cautious not to overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake texture; mix just until the ingredients are combined for a light and fluffy result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute Greek yogurt with another ingredient?

Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream, buttermilk, or a non-dairy yogurt alternative if you need a dairy-free option. Ensure the consistency is similar to avoid affecting the cake's texture.

How should I store the leftover cake?

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week, or freeze it for up to 3 months. Be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.

What should I do if my cake sinks in the middle?

If your cake sinks, it could be due to underbaking or too much liquid in the batter. Ensure you measure ingredients accurately, especially liquids. Also, check that your oven is properly calibrated and that you're not opening the oven door too frequently while baking.
