Equipment

1 8-inch round cake pan
1 large and medium mixing bowl
1 Whisk

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) red apples (2 small apples) peeled, cored and diced into 3/4cm cubes
  • 1 apple peeled and thinly sliced to garnish the top of the cake
  • ¾ cup (160 g) white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (90 g) avocado oil or another neutral tasting oil
  • ⅔ cup (170 g) plain yogurt or greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon (2 g) apple cider vinegar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon (9 g) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2 g) baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon (2 g) salt
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g) nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g) ground cinnamon
  • Optional: powdered sugar to dust on top of finished cake

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together and set aside.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • In a large bowl combine sugar, oil, yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla. Whisk together until all ingredients are combined.
    ¾ cup white granulated sugar, ½ cup avocado oil, ⅔ cup plain yogurt, ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pour in dry ingredients and mix. I find it easiest to mix with a silicone spatula. Mix until just combined, avoid overmixing as it results in a dense cake.
  • Fold in diced apples.
    1 ½ cups red apples (2 small apples)
  • Grease an 8-inch metal cake pan on both the sides and bottom. Line the bottom of the cake pan with a circle of parchment paper to ensure the cake doesn't stick.
  • Pour in batter and smooth the top.
  • Place sliced apples on top of the batter and gently press down. You can do any design you'd like. OPTIONAL: brush the apples with melted butter to prevent them from drying out.
  • Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean the cake is done baking.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  • To remove it from the pan: Use a knife to run along the outside of the cake. Flip on a large plate. Place another plate on top of the cake and flip again so it is rightside up (see video below for a visual).
  • Dust top of cake with powdered sugar if desired!

Notes

In total you will need either 3 small apples or 2 large apples for this recipe. 
For more accurate flour measurements, spoon into the measuring cup and level off.
Metal baking pans are best for this cake recipe, if using ceramic, it will likely require more cook time.
