Instructions
Active Time: 20 min
Full Time: 45 min
Heat oven to 350 F. Prep an 10 inch round or square pan with parchment paper and baking spray. Set aside.
In a sauce pot combine, brown sugar, butter, honey, salt and pecans. Stir over medium heat till butter melts and sugar is dissolved about 2-3 minutes.
Turn off heat. Pour into the bottom of the cake pan and use an offset spatula to spread evenly.
In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine barley flour, all purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
Add in your Drizzle, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla bean paste. Use whisk to combine until it’s a nice smooth batter, and pour into the cake pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes till golden brown on the edges and baked through the center.
Cool 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula to clear sides of cake and turn out onto a platter to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature or rewarmed slightly in the oven. Best enjoyed with a side of whipped cream or vanilla gelato.
