To prepare a delicious apple cake, we start by ensuring we have all the necessary ingredients at hand. In a large bowl, we mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and optionally, a dash of vanilla. This will give a subtle and aromatic flavor to our cake. Once we have a homogeneous mixture, we move on to the wet ingredients. In another container, we beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. It is important for the sugar to dissolve completely so that the cake has a fine texture.
After the eggs and sugar are well combined, we add the sour cream and yogurt, mixing gently to avoid losing the incorporated air. This mixture will bring moisture and creaminess to the cake. Next, we combine the two mixtures, being careful not to overmix to maintain the airy texture. When we achieve a semi-homogeneous mixture, we prepare the baking tray. We grease it with butter and sprinkle flour, ensuring that the sides are evenly coated. Personally, I recommend using baking paper to facilitate the removal of the cake after baking.
Now, we pour 3/4 of the obtained mixture into the tray, leveling it gently. Next come the apples, which we slice thinly and arrange evenly over the dough. It’s time to sprinkle the apples with cinnamon, which will add a warm and comforting flavor. I recommend doing this in two stages: a layer of apples, a dash of cinnamon, then another layer of apples, and again, cinnamon. Finally, we cover everything with the remaining mixture.
After preparing the tray, we place it in the preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. During this time, the liquid ingredients mix again to be ready. After 25 minutes, we carefully remove the tray from the oven and pour the liquid mixture over the baked apples, ensuring it is evenly distributed. We return the cake to the oven for another 50 minutes, still at 160 degrees, until it is golden and firm to the touch.
Once the cake is baked, we let it cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or cold, depending on everyone’s preferences. It is ideal to be savored alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sour cream. This apple cake will surely bring a smile to the faces of loved ones!
