Today I leave you the recipe for apple and coconut cake. A delicious and fragrant dessert, with a very soft and light consistency covered with apple slices and powdered sugar.

I added grated lemon zest to the dough and used the juice for the apple slices.

You can replace the lemon with vanilla aroma or a pinch of powdered ginger, according to your taste.

This recipe is easy and quick. Moreover, on my blog, you can find numerous apple cake recipes: with whole wheat flour, soft, apple pie, blended apple cake, or with cream.

In short, there is something for everyone, and the one with coconut flour could not be missing.

The recipe includes oil and milk and does not require butter. The cake is excellent for a snack and especially for breakfast to start the day well and with more energy.

It keeps for several days inside a classic cake container or covered with plastic wrap.

Steps for Apple and Coconut Cake

Let’s start by buttering and flouring a 9-inch diameter baking pan.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Meanwhile…
Place the 3 whole eggs in the bowl (the eggs must be at room temperature).
Add the sugar and a pinch of salt (if desired, the grated zest of a lemon or vanilla flavor).
Start the whisk and beat the mixture.
I used the stand mixer, electric whisks are also fine.
The mixture should be fluffy and soft.
(To achieve this result, the whisks must beat for 5/6 min.)
Pour the vegetable oil in a stream, continue with the yogurt and mix with a spatula from bottom to top
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder previously mixed and sifted.
Add the shredded coconut and mix from bottom to top.
Very gently mix everything until you get a foamy, homogeneous, and lump-free mixture.
Add 1 apple previously cut into cubes, mix, pour the mixture into the baking pan, and add 1 sliced on the entire surface.
Bake at 350°F for about 40/45 minutes.
Always do the toothpick test before removing from the oven.
(Every oven has its own baking time so check and if necessary, leave the cake for a few more minutes).
Once ready, remove from the oven, let it cool down, place the cake on a serving plate and if you prefer, sprinkle it with powdered sugar or shredded coconut
Enjoy your meal.
