Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups Golo Granola
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • ¼ cup Golo Granola for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cake Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan lightly. Line the bottom with parchment paper. This helps the finished cake release easily without sticking.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt to a bowl. Whisk everything together until evenly combined. Add the Golo Granola and chopped walnuts.

Cream the Butter and Sugar

  • Place softened butter and brown sugar in another bowl. Beat them until light and creamy. This usually takes about two minutes. A fluffy mixture helps create a softer cake.

Add the Eggs and Vanilla

  • Add the eggs one at a time. Beat well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and honey. Mix again until everything looks smooth and well combined.

Add the Yogurt and Milk

  • Add Greek yogurt and milk to the wet mixture. Stir gently until combined. The yogurt adds moisture while keeping the cake tender and soft after baking.

Combine Everything

  • Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula. Stop mixing once the flour disappears. Overmixing can make the cake dense.

Fill the Cake Pan

  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Smooth the surface gently. Sprinkle the remaining Golo Granola evenly over the top. Press it very lightly into the batter.

Bake the Cake

  • Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for about 35 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool Before Serving

  • Let the cake rest in the pan for about ten minutes. Carefully transfer it to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool before slicing for cleaner pieces.
