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, with 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 leftover, you can store it 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.

Easy and moist Apple cake
Equipment
Ingredients
- 300 g Apples, chopped 2½ cups
- 260 g AP Flour 2 cups
- 1/4 t Salt
- 1 t Baking Powder
- 1/2 t Baking Soda
- 1 t Cinnamon
- 200 g Raw cane sugar or granulated sugar 1 cup
- 120 g Yogurt 1/2 cup
- 100 ml Oil (unflavored) 1/2 cup
- 2 Eggs
- 1 t Vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp Caramel optional
Instructions
- Chope the apples. I take the skin off, but if you prefer you can leave it on.
- Preheat the oven to 350F(180C).
- In a bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix.
- In another bowl combine the sugar, yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk till homogenous.
- To the wet ingredients add the flour mixture. Gently mix and half away through fold-in the chopped apples. Stop mixing as soon as all the flour has been incorporated.
- Line a springform with parchment paper and grease the bottom and sides with butter or oil.
- Transfer the batter to the springform, spread evenly. (Optional) Add a few dollops of the caramel on top. Using a toothpick make swirls to distribute the caramel over the surface (see photos).
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes, or till a toothpick comes out clean.
- Take out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before removing the springform. Then transfer to a cooling rack. When completely cooled transfer to a plate, slice, and enjoy. You can drizzle more caramel on top if you'd like.
