Description

Apple Yogurt Soft Winter Cake is the kind of cozy homemade cake that fills the kitchen with warmth from the moment it starts baking. Tender apples are folded into a soft yogurt cake batter, creating a moist crumb that stays light while delivering comforting flavor in every bite. The yogurt adds richness and softness without making the cake heavy, while the apples become sweet and delicate as they bake.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup diced apple
  • Optional powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth and slightly pale.
  3. Add the yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract then whisk until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  8. Arrange additional apple slices on top if desired for decoration.
  9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  11. Cool completely or serve slightly warm.
  12. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Use firm apples such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji for the best texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
  • Greek yogurt can be used for a slightly richer cake.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra winter flavor.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner pieces.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.
  • Warm slices briefly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
