Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2-3 medium apples, sliced but not peeled
- powdered sugar for dusting
cinnamon whipped cream, optional
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, or more to taste.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Butter a 9" springform pan.
- In a stand mixer or with electric beaters, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary. This is going to create a nice light cake.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, letting each become fully incorporated before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla and cinnamon and again scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the baking powder and salt, and mix briefly to combine.
- Add the flour alternating with the Greek yogurt. Blend just until everything is well mixed, don't overdo it.
- Give the mixture a final stir by hand to make sure everything is evenly incorporated, and turn the batter into your prepared pan. Spread out flat with an offset spatula.
- Arrange your apple slices on top of the cake, pushing them into the batter very slightly. I arranged them in a spiral pattern and fit them fairly snugly.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is puffed and starting to turn golden on top. I use a toothpick to check for doneness in the center. Remember that ovens cook differently, so your baking time could vary.
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the sides of the springform pan. Continue to cool on a baking rack, and dust with powdered sugar when ready to serve. The cake can be served warm or at room temperature, with or without the cinnamon whipped cream.
