Ingredients
Filling/Topping:
- Unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup toasted walnuts, chopped
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
Cake:
- 1¾ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces, room temperature, plus more for pan
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, preferably full fat
- 1 medium to large apple, cored and diced (peeled or not)
Preparation
- Coat 9-inch round pan with softened butter; reserve. Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position.
- Put the filling/topping ingredients into a small mixing bowl. Using the beaters, mix on Speed 1 until combined. Reserve.
- Put the flour, salt, baking powder and soda into a medium mixing bowl. Mix on Speed 1 to thoroughly combine, a minimum of 30 seconds; reserve.
- Put the butter and sugars into a large mixing bowl. Mix, starting on Speed 2 and increasing to Speed 4, until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, using Speed 3, and then the vanilla extract and the yogurt. Add the dry ingredients in two additions and be sure to mix gently, but thoroughly, using Speed 2.
- Transfer half of the batter to the prepared cake pan. Top with the diced apple and half of the nut filling/topping, and then add the remaining batter. Smooth to the edges of the pan, and then top with the remaining nut mixture.
- Put in the preheated oven and bake until browned and set, about 45 minutes.
