Apple Yogurt Cake
Now that it’s apple season, here’s a recipe that is quick and easy, but pretty – and it tastes pretty good, too!
Ingredients:
2 medium apples – peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plain yogurt, either Greek or regular
3/4 cup sugar, either granulated or light brown – the brown sugar gives the cake a deeper flavor
1/2 cup neutral oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon or more ground cinnamon
nutmeg or cardamom to taste (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons melted butter
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the apples: Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and set aside. Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with about 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, and set aside in a small cup
Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt.
Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add the oil while continuing to whisk.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three separate measures, stirring each addition gently until fully combined and smooth.
Assemble the cake: Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Arrange half of the apple slices over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and spread it evenly. Arrange the rest of the apple slices on the surface in a decorative pattern, slightly pressing them into the batter. Pour the melted butter over the apples, using a pastry brush to cover everything. Sprinkle reserved cinnamon sugar on top.
Bake the cake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top and slightly springy to the touch.
Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
