Steps for Apple and Almond Yogurt Plumcake

• “Soft as a cloud with that unexpected ‘crunch’: the perfect Plumcake for those who love waking up to the scent of apples and the warmth of home.”

  For this recipe, use a 10 inch pan that perfectly accommodates the volume of this batter, allowing the cake to rise without overflowing.

  Using this size will give you the classic “dome” shape, high and fluffy. If you use a larger pan (e.g. 12 inches, as I did), the plumcake would be too flat.

  

• Preparation of the apples: Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into small cubes or thin slices. If you want to prevent them from browning while preparing the batter, drizzle them with a few drops of lemon.

• Whipping the eggs: In a large bowl, whip the 3 eggs (150 g) with the sugar using electric beaters. Continue for at least 5 minutes until the mixture is light, frothy, and tripled in volume.

• Adding the liquids: Lower the speed of the beaters and add the room temperature plain yogurt, the oil in a stream, and the grated lemon zest or vanilla. Mix gently to avoid deflating the mixture.

• Dry ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour together with the baking powder. Gradually add them to the batter, mixing with a spatula using upward movements to maintain the air incorporation.

• Adding the apples: Fold the apple cubes into the batter, distributing them evenly.

• Baking and decorating: Pour the mixture into a previously buttered and floured plumcake pan. Distribute the sliced almonds evenly on the surface.

• In the oven: Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 45-50 minutes. Always do the toothpick test before removing: it should come out dry.

• Final touch: Once completely cooled, remove the cake from the pan and finish with a generous dusting of powdered sugar to achieve the snow effect.

• There’s nothing more gratifying than baking such a fragrant cake and watching it disappear slice by slice. This Apple and Almond Yogurt Plumcake is proof that simplicity, when it meets the right ingredients, becomes pure poetry for the palate. Whether for a slow breakfast or a refreshing snack, its “snow effect” will bring a smile to the table.
  And you, how do you prefer it? Do you love enjoying it plain or would you accompany it with a steaming cup of tea?
