Ingredients
- 12 servings
Cake
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) natural yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 125 ml melted butter or vegetable oil
- 240 g (1 and 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 125 g brown or white sugar
- 1.5 apples
- 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
Icing
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- about 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the yogurt, eggs, and melted butter or vegetable oil. Stir with a spoon until the ingredients are well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
- Prepare Apples: Peel the apples, quarter them, remove the cores, and cut them into approximately 1 cm cubes. Mix the apple cubes with the cinnamon.
- Combine Ingredients: Add 2/3 of the apples to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well. Reserve the remaining apples for topping.
- Mix the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and apples. Stir gently and slowly with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Place the reserved apple pieces on top of each.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
- Prepare Icing: While the cakes are baking, prepare the icing by heating the lemon juice and then mixing it with the powdered sugar until smooth.
- Finish: After baking, let the cakes cool slightly and then drizzle with the lemon icing.
