Description
This cake was really moist and the citrus flavour from the lemon was nicely incorporated with the sweet cinnamon apples. Seriously, what a cake!
Ingredients
- 1-¼ cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 2 whole Eggs, Room Temperature
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ cups Unsalted Butter, melted
- ½ cups Plain Yogurt
- 1 whole Lemon, Zest And Juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 whole Large Apples, Cored And Sliced
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add butter, and continue whisking to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix together yogurt, lemon zest, juice and vanilla. Set aside.
With the mixer on low speed, add half of the flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Once combined, add the yogurt mixture and mix until just blended. Slowly add the remaining flour mixture, scraping down sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary, until just blended.
Pour the cake mixture into the prepared cake pan. Arrange the apple slices on top of the cake. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven. Serve warm or at room temperature.
