This salted caramel semi naked cake is my go to when I want something impressive but don't have all day in the kitchen. The beauty of a semi naked cake is that it looks stunning without requiring perfect frosting skills, and honestly, it comes together in under an hour from start to finish. I love using Greek yogurt in the batter because it keeps everything incredibly moist while adding a bit of protein, so you can feel a little better about indulging in a slice. The combination of buttery cake layers with that rich, gooey caramel sauce and crunchy pecans is pure comfort on a plate. Trust me, this one will become a favorite.
