How to Make Creamy Apple Cake with Milk and Yogurt
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Peel and chop the apples into small pieces. Set them aside while you prepare the batter. You can toss them with a bit of cinnamon for added flavor if you’d like.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined — be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round or square baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Serve warm or chilled, dusted with powdered sugar or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla yogurt.
Tips and Variations
Use Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and richer flavor.
Add a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
Mix in raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness.
Drizzle with a light honey glaze for a glossy finish.
