This recipe truly is easy to make. The first time I ever prepared the cake, I did so with my three young children in the kitchen with me. If you have ever baked with kids, you know the chaos and not-so-exact measurements that happen. There was flour thrown out of the bowl while mixing and not-quite-full teaspoons of baking powder. But, in the end it still produced a soft, fluffy, and delicious eggless apple cake.
A perfect cake for those with egg allergies. It is an allergen friendly recipe by increasing the amount of flour typically used for structure and use of yogurt and oil for the soft and pillowy texture. To ensure the cake rises properly it uses a bit more baking powder than normal and apple cider vinegar.

Step 1: Dice apples and set aside.
Step 2: Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Combine sugar, oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla, and yogurt. Whisk together.
Step 4: Pour flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir together. I find it easiest to stir with a silicone spatula. Fold in diced apples.
Step 5: Grease bottom and sides of cake pan. Line bottom with parchment paper.
Step 6: Spread out batter in pan. Top with sliced apples if desired. I recommend brushing the apples with melted butter to prevent drying out. Bake at 350 degrees in oven for 35-40 minutes.
