How to Make Apple and Yogurt Cake
Preheat your oven to 340°F for the ideal temperature.
To prepare a delicious Apple Cake with yogurt, start by beating the eggs with the sugar for about 10 minutes. The result will be a light and fluffy mixture.
Continue by adding a container of plain yogurt and some vegetable oil to the egg and sugar mixture.
The next step in preparing this delicious cake involves adding the flour, which should be previously sifted with the baking powder and cinnamon.
Mix thoroughly to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
Now it’s time to prepare the apples:
I used 4 medium-sized apples, but if yours are larger, 3 might be enough. Chop one and a half apples into cubes and incorporate them into the mixture.
Prepare a 8-inch springform pan by greasing and flouring it, removing the excess flour.
Pour the batter for your Apple Cake with yogurt into the pan.
For decoration, slice the remaining apples into thin slices and arrange them on the batter in concentric circles, slightly pushing them in.
Sprinkle the apples with some brown sugar and bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes. For optimal baking, place the cake on the lower part of the oven, and if you notice it browning too quickly, cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil. Check the baking with a toothpick: if it comes out dry, the cake is ready. Otherwise, leave it in the oven for a few more minutes. Once ready, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool before transferring it to a serving plate. Remember, the key to a perfect Apple Cake with yogurt is to carefully follow each step of the recipe.
Happy baking!
The apple and yogurt cake is a perfect dessert for any occasion. Simple to prepare, delicious to taste, it will win everyone over with its authentic and genuine flavor. Don’t hesitate to try this recipe, and remember: the beauty of cooking lies in its simplicity!
Notes
The Apple Cake stays soft for 2-3 days if stored in a container.
If you want, you can use 3 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
To store your apple cake to keep it fresh and tasty for as long as possible, follow these tips:
Store at Room Temperature: If you plan to consume the cake within 1-2 days, you can store it at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Make sure the container is airtight to prevent it from drying out too much.
Fridge: If you don’t plan to consume the cake within two days, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator. Carefully cover the cake and place it in the fridge. Keep in mind that the cake may become a bit more compact in the refrigerator.
