Make the batter
- Preheat the oven to 180°/350°F and line a cake pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, oil and milk.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the caramelized apples and any of the caramel in the pan.
- Transfer the batter to a greased and line cake pan (I used a 20cm/7.8in square cake pan) and smooth the top.
- Place in a preheated oven and bake for 30-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan before turning out.
Dulce de leche whipped cream
- Whip the cream with the dulce de leche until soft peaks form. Slice the cake and serve with a dollop of the whipped cream.
