Recipe for Apple and Greek Yogurt Pound Cake
Start the preparation of the apple and Greek yogurt pound cake by cleaning the apple and removing the core.
I decided to leave the skin on, but you can remove it if you wish.
After cutting it into pieces, place it in a bowl and add the lemon juice.
Mix well and set aside.
Prepare the pound cake batter.
Beat the eggs with the sugar until they double in volume.
Continue to mix in the sunflower oil slowly.
Add the Greek yogurt and lemon zest to the bowl (the lemon should be untreated).
Now add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, previously sifted.
Complete the pound cake preparation by adding the apple and distributing it well within the batter.
Transfer the pound cake batter into a dedicated pan (the one in the photo is 12 inches) greased or lined with damp and wrung-out parchment paper.
For an evenly risen batter, make a cut in the center of the pound cake with a greased knife or spatula.
Bake the apple and Greek yogurt pound cake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 45-50 minutes.
Let it cool before removing it from the pan.
