Moist Apple Loaf Cake
This moist apple loaf cake is soft, fluffy, and filled with fresh apples, yogurt, and raisins. It’s an easy homemade loaf cake with a tender crumb and warm cinnamon flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- 125 g plain yogurt
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 8 g baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 50 g raisins
- 2 apples thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs, 200 g granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract with an electric mixer until pale, light, and fluffy. Pour in 50 ml vegetable oil and 125 g plain yogurt, then whisk again until smooth and creamy.
- Sift in 300 g all-purpose flour, 8 g baking powder, and ⅛ tsp salt. Fold the mixture gently with a spatula until no dry flour remains, then fold in 50 g raisins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Thinly slice 2 apples and gently press the slices into the batter.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
- Let the apple loaf cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Beat the Eggs Well: I like whisking the eggs and sugar until very pale and fluffy because it helps give the loaf a lighter texture.
Slice the Apples Thinly: Thin apple slices soften beautifully while baking and create a prettier finish on top of the loaf.
Fold the Batter Gently: Once the flour is added, I fold slowly with a spatula so the cake stays soft instead of dense.
Store It Covered: I usually keep the loaf covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate it for a few extra days to keep it fresh.
