Apple Yoghurt Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup plain yoghurt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until well combined.
4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three batches, alternating with yoghurt and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
5. Fold in the chopped apples and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly.
6. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it on top of the batter.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Cool the cake in the pan for ten minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack for cooling to room temperature.
