Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a 35x10x10 cm loaf pan by greasing it with butter and dusting it with flour.
-
Prepare the Apples: Peel the apples, remove the cores, and chop them into small cubes. Set them aside.
-
Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan or microwave, melt 80g of butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on low speed until the mixture is well combined.
-
Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the egg mixture, continuing to mix on a low speed until the flour is fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate the Butter and Lemon: Add the melted butter and lemon zest to the mixture, mixing gently until well combined.
-
Add the Apples: Stir the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Transfer to the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a knife to make a lengthwise incision down the center of the batter.
-
Bake: Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve.
Enjoy your moist and flavorful Yogurt and Apple Pound Cake, a perfect treat for any occasion!
