Swedish Apple Cake

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

STEP 1: PREHEAT THE OVEN

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

STEP 2: PREPARE THE APPLES

  1. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Set aside.

STEP 3: MAKE THE BATTER

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt (or sour cream) until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. The batter will be thick but spreadable.

STEP 4: ASSEMBLE THE CAKE

  1. Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  2. Arrange half of the apple slices in a single layer over the batter.
  3. Dollop the remaining batter on top and gently spread it to cover the apples.
  4. Arrange the remaining apple slices in a decorative pattern on top (e.g., circular or layered).
