Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g sugar
  • 80 g butter (melted and cooled)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 125 g plain yogurt
  • 180 g all-purpose flour
  • 12 g baking powder
  • 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly)

Directions

Prepare the baking pan: Grease and line a round cake pan (about 24 cm) with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until light and creamy. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and yogurt. Mix well until smooth.

Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Add the apples: Gently fold in half of the apple slices into the batter. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top in a decorative pattern.

Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
