Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted or aerated (see note below)
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder
- 1 cup (200g) white sugar
- 1/4 cup (60g) melted unsalted butter
- 1 and 1/4 cups (300g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
- 2 large apples (Fuji), cored and peeled
- 8 oz (225g) blackberries
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F, opting for the convection bake setting if available. Prepare a 9×3-inch springform pan by lining its base with parchment paper and greasing the entire pan with butter or a non-stick spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, blend the flour with the baking powder.
- In a larger bowl, mix together the sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk this mixture for 1-2 minutes until it becomes airy and light.
- Incorporate the Greek yogurt and vanilla into the mixture, stirring until just blended.
- Gradually integrate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Take two apples; chop one of them, previously cored and peeled, into small pieces and fold them into the batter.
- Slice the second apple, also cored and peeled, into thin pieces and set aside for decoration.
- Pour the batter with apple chunks into the springform pan you prepped earlier. Decoratively arrange the apple slices on top in a circular pattern, filling the gaps with blueberries.
- Place the pan on the middle oven rack, which is crucial for ovens without a convection setting. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick away from the fruit. It should come out clean.
- After baking, take the cake out and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled for around 30 minutes, release the cake from the pan. If the cake is sufficiently cool, slide a hand or spatula beneath it to transfer it to a serving plate, keeping the parchment attached.
- Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
- To measure flour correctly, first aerate by sifting or fluffing it up. Then spoon it into the measuring cup, leveling it off with a knife to prevent using too much. This method helps avoid a dry cake.
Notes
- Properly aerate the flour to prevent a dense or dry cake texture.
- Use plain Greek yogurt for a moist and tangy flavor.
- Avoid overworking the batter to maintain a light and airy texture.
