Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup yogurt, 0.5 cups sugar, and 3 eggs. Mix well until smooth. Then, add 1 cup sunflower oil, 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons almond powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
-
Stir in 1 teaspoon white vinegar. Peel and slice one apple into small pieces, toss with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning, and gently fold the apple pieces into the batter.
-
Grease a 20 cm round baking pan with butter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
-
Thinly slice the remaining 2-3 apples and arrange them on top of the batter in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar over the apples for added sweetness and a caramelized effect.
-
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with caramel sauce for an added treat.
