How to make this Apple cake?
Note: For exact measurements and directions see the recipe card below!
Making the batter is pretty easy. No special tools, just a couple of bowls, a whisk, and a baking dish. First, I chop the apples. I take the skin off, but if you prefer, you can leave it on (some types of apples have thicker skin than others).
For the batter, I combine the flour with the spices. In a separate bowl, I whisk the yogurt, oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Then, to the wet mixture, I add the flour with the spices and gently mix. Before the flour has been fully incorporated, I add the chopped apples and finish mixing.
I line a springform with parchment paper and transfer the batter to the dish spreading evenly. If I’m using caramel, I add a few dollops of it on top of the batter. Using a toothpick, I make swirls around the top.
I bake it on the middle rack at 350F (180C) for about 35 minutes, or till a toothpick comes out clean. Let it sit a bit before removing the springform and transferring it to a cooling rack.
If you have any leftovers, you can store them covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. I haven’t tried freezing it; I assume it will be fine, but when I try, I will confirm. I really hope you’ll give this recipe a try. It’s a truly delicious, easy Apple cake that you can make again and again.
