Ingredients
  

  • cup plain whole wheat flour ( I used atta)
  • tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped apple ( I needed 1 medium sized apple for this). The pieces should not be too thick or thin.
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp demerara sugar for topping

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat the oven at 180 deg C and line an 8 inch baking pan with foil.
  • In a bowl, add the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ground cinnamon and apples. Mix well with a spatula and keep aside.
  • In another bowl, add the eggs, oil, yogurt and granulated sugar. Lightly whisk everything together.
  • Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture.
  • Mix together with a spatula until everything is just moistened. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon the batter into the lined baking pan and smooth the top.
  • Sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top.
  • Place the pan in the centre of the pre heated oven and bake for 30 minutes or till a toothpick inserted through the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a cooling rack.
  • After a few minutes, lift the cake from the pan and remove the foil.
  • Place the cake back on the rack and cool completely before storing in an air tight container.
