The homemade sponge cake is the ideal complement to any breakfast. As we know, it can be of many flavors (chocolate, butter, oil, marble, lemon, orange …). One of these alternatives is the yogurt cake. It can also be made only with yogurt or complemented with some fruit. Thus, in this post we will teach you how to make apple yogurt cake to liven up those breakfasts or snacks.

Option 1: Yogurt cake with apple

Ingredients

• 2 large Pippin apples
• 1 plain unsweetened yogurt
• 3 glasses of plain yogurt
• 2 glasses of sugar yogurt
• 1 glass of yogurt oil (olive or sunflower. It depends on how strong you want the cake).
• 1 sachet of yeast
• 3 XL eggs

Process:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC with heat from above and below, but without using the fan.

• Next, in a large bowl, add the lemon yogurt. With the same glass of yogurt, put the measures of oil and sugar. Stir well.
• Second, add the eggs and yeast. Beat the ingredients well (you can use a mixer) until a homogeneous mixture is left.
• Add the flour little by little and beat until smooth.
• Wash and peel the apples. Cut them into rather thin segments.
• Then, in a sponge cake mold previously greased with butter, pour half of the yogurt mixture, place a layer of apple wedges, then another layer of dough, another of apple wedges and the rest of the dough.
• Finally, put the mold in the oven at 180ºC for about 30-35 minutes until when you click a toothpick it comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool before unmolding it so that it does not crumble.

Option 2: Apple and yogurt cake

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 natural yogurt
• 2 measures of the glass of sugar yogurt
• 3 measures of the glass of flour yogurt

• 1 measure of glass of vegetable oil yogurt
• 1 sachet of baking powder
• 2 medium apples
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of cinnamon
• butter to spread the mold

Process:

• First, in a bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar. Beat with a wire mixer until the dough rises twice in volume and thus becomes more foamy and whitish. The more air takes this step, the fluffier the cake will be.
• Second, add the yogurt to the mixture and beat again. Incorporate the oil little by little without stopping moving.
• Next, pour in the vanilla essence and a pinch of cinnamon and continue beating until a homogeneous mixture is formed.
• Sift the flour mixed with the yeast over the previous dough, stirring carefully so that the dough does not fall. Beat well until smooth.

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC with heat from above and below.
• Grease an ovenproof sponge mold with butter and sprinkle it with flour.
• Then peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into thin wedges.
• Pour the dough into the sponge mold and cover it well with the apple wedges.
• Finally, bake for 40-45 minutes until golden or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. It is very important not to open the oven door until at least 35 minutes have passed so that the cake does not fall.
• Once ready, let it cool down before unmolding it so that the cake does not break.
