• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 cups white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9- or 10-inch Bundt pan.

Step 2

Pour 3 cups batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the streusel, then layer with apples. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the remaining streusel. Pour in remaining batter and top with remaining streusel. Lightly pat down top layer of streusel into batter.

Step 3

Make streusel: Combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in cold butter with a fork until crumbly. Stir in walnuts and set aside.

Step 4

Make cake: Stir together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

Cream together sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in yogurt and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture just until blended.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Place a cookie sheet over the pan and carefully invert both. Remove the pan; let cake cool completely.
