Ingredients

Chocolate Streusel

  • 2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • Pinch of Himalayan salt

Cake

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature, plus more for pan
  • 4 cups gluten-free flour plus more for pan
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups full fat greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the streusel:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, brown sugar, cinnamon, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.

Make the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 12-inch bundt cake, tapping out excess flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl after each addition.
  • Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients in 2 additions, alternating with the greek yogurt. Add vanilla and beat just to combine.
  • Pour half the batter onto the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the chocolate streusel mix over the batter.
  • Transfer the rest of the batter over, and sprinkle 1/4 of the remaining streusel.
  • Bake for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (melted chocolate is ok).
  • Let cool before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Once cooled, sprinkle the remaining chocolate streusel. Dust some powdered sugar, if desired.
