Ingredients
- 2-3 medium apples (chopped medium or large)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup regular whole yogurt (room temperature) (not flavoured)
- ½ cup light olive oil, melted butter or vegetable oil (Italians will use veg oil)
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ tablespoon lemon zest
For room temperature remove the ingredients from the fridge 45-60 minutes before using.
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered / icing sugar (for dusting on the cake)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C), grease and flour or spray a 9 inch (23 cm) bundt pan (a cake pan would work too).
- In a medium bowl add the chopped apples and sprinkle with the lemon juice.
- In a large bowl beat the eggs and sugar until creamy and light approximately 3-4 minutes. Then add the yogurt and oil, sift the flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, salt and zest into the bowl add the zest then beat until combined.
- Fold in the apples, spoon into the prepared cake pan, sprinkle with a couple of tablespoons of granulated sugar and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes (check for doneness with a toothpick). Let cool completely before removing from pan. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- I personally like to use either a Fuji or Royal Gala although a Granny Smith if you like a tartness, or how about a Jonathon or Jonagold, Cortland or Honeycrisp, any of these apples are perfect for baking. Just make sure they are fresh and crisp.
- Be sure to cool the cake completely in the baking pan then move to a wire rack. If you store it while it’s still warm, condensation can form inside the storage container, making the cake soggy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, you can wrap the whole cake in plastic wrap, make sure to wrap it tightly to prevent air from getting in. Or you can wrap it with aluminum foil. Just make sure it’s tightly sealed to keep the cake moist.
- If you have a cake keeper or airtight cake container, you can use that to keep the cake. These containers are designed to maintain the cake’s freshness.
- This cake, as long as it doesn’t have a cream cheese frosting or any other perishable filling, can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days. But be sure to keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It should keep up to 2-3 days at room temperature.
- If not your cake can be stored in the refrigerator. Cover the cake tightly with plastic wrap or foil before refrigerating. It will keep for up to 4-5 days in the fridge.
- Yes this cake can be frozen, just make sure to completely cool the cake and wrap it tightly in plastic then place in an airtight freezer bag. The cake will keep up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
- The frozen cake, should be thawed in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The gradual thawing helps preserve the cake’s texture and flavor.
- Before serving, if the cake was stored in the refrigerator or freezer, allow it to come to room temperature for the best taste and texture.
