Apple Cake Recipe, August 15, 2011

I have received a few requests for the Apple Cake recipe.  I did post a few days ago the internet link to this recipe, but I did alter it a little.  Below is what I changed it to.

Linda's Apple Yogurt Cake

2/3 cup sugar or sugar substitute

½ cup butter or ICBINB

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 tsp of bourbon (optional)

1-1/4 cup oatmeal

1 cup flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

8 oz (1 cup) plain yogurt, (I used vanilla flavored yogurt)

2 cups chopped apples (I used 2 large sized granny smith)

Topping

2 Tbsp butter or ICBINB

2 Tbsp flour

¼ cup oatmeal

½ cup nuts

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

Cake:

Mix sugar with butter until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat well.

Combine oatmeal, flour, baking powder, spices and baking soda. Add to egg mixture, alternating with yogurt.

Fold in the cored unpeeled chopped apples (I chopped the apples with a Ninja, any food chopper should do the trick.) Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan. (or for two smaller cakes, use two greased round 8 or 9” pans.)

Topping:

Combine all six of the topping ingredients and using a food processor (I used the Ninja), mix up. Sprinkle on top of cake.

Bake

Convection Oven

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes using the short rack.  Check to see if a toothpick inserted in the cake middle comes our clean, if it does, then the cake is done.

Regular Oven

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes
