Apple and Yogurt Cake

 Ingredients: - 6 tablespoons of oil - 6 tablespoons of sugar - 12 tablespoons of flour - 400 g yogurt - 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda extinguished with vinegar or lemon juice - flavors (cinnamon and vanilla) For the filling: - 1.5 kg apples

To prepare a delicious apple dessert, we start by gathering the necessary ingredients. Fresh apples are the stars of this recipe, so we choose sweet and juicy apples that will provide a special flavor. We wash them well and grate them using a large grater, making sure to squeeze them well to eliminate excess juice. This will help maintain the final composition in a perfect texture. If you are a fan of cinnamon, now is the time to add a pinch of this aromatic spice, which will enhance the flavor of the apples. However, if you prefer to abstain, you can skip this step.

In the meantime, we take care of the cake base. In a generous bowl, we put the oil and sugar, mixing them with a whisk or mixer until we obtain a smooth and creamy paste. This combination will provide the cake with a pleasant moisture and a sweet but balanced taste. Then, we add the yogurt, an ingredient that contributes to lightening the dough and to a finer taste. We continue mixing, ensuring that the ingredients are well integrated.

Once we have obtained a uniform composition, it is time to add the flour, mixing gently to avoid forming lumps. Finally, we add the baking soda and vanilla essence, which will provide a pleasant aroma and help the cake rise. We mix again until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Now, we divide the composition into two equal parts. In a medium-sized baking dish, which we have greased with oil and dusted with flour, we pour the first half of the batter and level it evenly. Then, we add the grated apples, making sure they are evenly distributed over the entire surface. We sprinkle sugar over the apples to add a crispy and caramelized layer during baking. The last step is to pour the other half of the composition over the apples, thus covering the filling.

We place the dish in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake turns golden and beautifully browned on top. Once ready, we let the cake cool in the dish to stabilize, then we can cut it into generous portions. This apple cake is perfect to be enjoyed alongside a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy your meal!
