I don't know about you, but I always have room for another delicious apple cake recipe in my expanding apple dessert recipe collection.
I couldn't wait to get baking with the Chobani yogurt I received recently. My lovely Chobani friends sent us three 32-ounce Chobani Greek yogurt varieties: 0% plain, 2% plain, and 0% Vanilla.

A little about this cake:
I found a bag of
Meyer lemons and couldn't wait to start baking and cooking with them. A Meyer lemon is a cross between a lemon and a sweet orange. The flavor is incredible.
This is another apple cake recipe my mother-in-law Teresa taught me how to make one year in
Italy. It's a simple and rustic apple cake, which is the sort of cake I adore the most. The smell of apples cooking brings warm feelings on a cold winter's day. The Chobani yogurt makes the cake extra moist. Feel free to sub it with another oil if the flavor is too strong for your tastes. A fabulous breakfast or afterschool merenda (snack).
Rustic Apple Cake with Yogurt-Torta di Mele allo Yogurt
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups flour (I used ½ cup of whole wheat pastry flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
juice and zest of one lemon (I used Meyer)
⅔ cup sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup olive oil
½ cup Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt
2 medium apples, peeled and cored
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan with removable bottom. Dice one apple and slice the other apple into thin slices. Add the apple pieces and slices into a small bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over it; set aside. In a large bowl, sift together the flour,
baking powder and
salt. Toss in the lemon zest and with your hands, mix it into the flour mixture to release the lemon essence.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and eggs until creamy (about 5 minutes). Beat in the olive oil and the Chobani yogurt. Mix well.
Add flour mixture into the yogurt mixture a half up at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with spatula and mix well after every addition.
Mix the diced apple pieces into the batter. Pour the batter into prepared pan. Arrange the apple slices over the batter.
Sprinkle the turbinado sugar and thin pats of butter on top of the cake and bake for about 45-55 minutes, or until skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Check cake at about 40 minutes. Every oven is different. If cake is browning, cover with aluminum foil for remainder of baking time. Let cool for about 20 minutes before removing from cake pan. Best served warm.
un clásico maravilloso luce perfecta y muy bien elaborada,abrazos hugs,hugs.
gracias Rosita-abrazos!!:)
OMG that is sooo awesome with the Chobani Yogurt...Due to your recipe...I just ran to the store to pick up and try this out for dessert tonight!! I cant wait!!
I am just jealous that you have Meyer Lemons. They are my favorite and even make my guacamole taste good and not turn brown but the availability in Indiana is just about nill. My mother lives in florida and used to have a tree and it got hit by lightening...so sad. Cake looks wonderful too 🙂
Love the olive oil and Greek yogurt in this cake. Plus Meyer lemon juice (have some on my tree :-)-yum! Definitely want to try making a gluten-free version of this cake!
Love this cake! Beautiful!
Lora, this is a beautiful cake. I always love your sweet treats. Thanks.
I don't need yogurt but I do need a cake like this! This is JP's favorite kind of cake and snack to have around the house - we all love apple cakes and this one is perfect. And yogurt always makes a cake like this moister and better. Beautiful cake, doll! x
Love your cake, and I love Greek yogurt..Nicely on on the photos too, making my mouth water!!!
