A simple and moist apple cake made in just one bowl, perfect for a quick dessert or snack. This easy recipe combines fresh apples with warm spices for a comforting treat.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt to the dry ingredients.
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix everything together until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apples gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
