- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
STEP 1: PREHEAT THE OVEN
- 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
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Set aside.
STEP 3: MAKE THE BATTER
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt (or sour cream) until smooth.
- 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
- Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Arrange half of the apple slices in a single layer over the batter.
- Dollop the remaining batter on top and gently spread it to cover the apples.
- Arrange the remaining apple slices in a decorative pattern on top (e.g., circular or layered).
