Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a cake pan.
2. Prepare the apple:
-
Peel the apple, remove the core, and slice it thinly. Set aside.
3. Make the batter:
-
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Add the oil and yogurt to the egg mixture and mix well until smooth.
-
Grate in the lemon zest and stir to distribute the aroma evenly.
4. Add the dry ingredients:
-
Sift in the flour and baking powder, then gently mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
5. Assemble the cake:
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level it with a spatula.
-
Arrange the apple slices on top, pressing them slightly so they sink a little into the batter.
-
Sprinkle a few raisins and some sugar sprinkles on top for a bit of crunch.
6. Bake:
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool:
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Garnish:
-
When cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
9. Serve:
-
Slice and serve this deliciously fragrant cake—perfect for any occasion.
