Total time: 1 h 15 min
Yield: 1 9-inch round cake
Cuisine: Greek
Ingredients: 1 cup walnuts; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup sugar; 3 eggs; 1/2 cup Greek yogurt; 2 tablespoons brandy; Zest of 1 orange; 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Start by toasting the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let them cool, then finely chop them.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the Greek yogurt, brandy, and orange zest until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
