About this recipe

Apple and yogurt cake is a timeless classic, a dessert that evokes childhood memories and home scents. In my family, this cake has always had a special place. My grandmother, an exceptional cook, often prepared it, especially during the autumn, when the apples from our garden were at the peak of their sweetness. Her recipe, handed down from generation to generation, was my inspiration for this Thermomix® version, which I slightly modified to make it even softer and tastier. Flour 00 is the basis of this cake, giving it a light and delicate texture. The sugar, partly used to caramelize the apples and partly to sweeten the dough, helps to create a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Natural white yogurt, the secret ingredient of this recipe, gives the dough an incredible softness and a slightly acidic taste that goes perfectly with the sweetness of the apples. Seed oil, neutral in flavor, ensures that the cake remains moist and soft for a long time. Finally, the eggs bind all the ingredients and contribute to the structure of the cake. For optimal results, it is important to use good quality apples, preferably varieties such as Golden Delicious or Renetta, which maintain their shape during cooking and release an intense flavor. When caramelizing the apples in the Thermomix®, it is essential not to use the measuring cup, to allow the humidity to evaporate and obtain a perfect caramelization. During the preparation of the dough, it is important not to work the ingredients too much, to prevent the cake from becoming gummy. The use of the "Linkslauf" (reverse) function is essential to gently incorporate the ingredients and preserve the softness of the dough. To vary the recipe, you can add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger, which go perfectly with the flavor of apples. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the yogurt with soy or coconut yogurt. For a vegan version, you can use flax eggs or aquafaba instead of eggs. The apple and yogurt cake is perfect to enjoy warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of whipped cream. It can also be served with a cup of hot tea or coffee. It can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for a week. It can also be frozen, cut into slices, to always have it available. Preparing this cake in advance is a great idea to have a dessert ready for breakfast or a snack.
