🧾 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

Dry Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)

• ½ tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon powder

• ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 large apple (peeled & grated)

• ½ cup curd (plain yogurt)

• ½ cup jaggery powder or brown sugar

• ¼ cup oil (vegetable or coconut oil)

• 2 tbsp milk (only if needed to adjust consistency)

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar

Optional Add-ins:

• 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or almonds

• 1 tbsp raisins or dates (chopped)

🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions

🔥 Step 1: Prep Work

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.

• Grease a 6- or 7-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.

• Peel and grate the apple and keep it aside. Do not squeeze out the juice.

🥣 Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together curd and jaggery powder until smooth.

• Add oil, vanilla essence, and the grated apple. Mix gently.

• Add lemon juice or vinegar – this reacts with baking soda for a fluffy texture.

🧁 Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

• Sift in wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder.

• Fold gently using a spatula to avoid overmixing.

• If the batter is too thick, add 1–2 tbsp of milk to loosen it.

🍏 Step 4: Add Nuts & Pour

• Fold in nuts or raisins, if using.

• Pour the batter into the greased pan and tap it to remove air bubbles.

• Optional: Place thin apple slices or chopped nuts on top for a rustic look.

🔄 Step 5: Bake

• Bake the apple cake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

• Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

✅ Step 6: Serve

• Slice and enjoy your homemade eggless apple cake warm or at room temperature.

• Pairs wonderfully with tea, coffee, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Apple Cake

• Use sweet apples like Fuji or Red Delicious for best flavor.

• Grating the apples adds moisture – no need for apple puree.

• Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake soft and airy.

• For a refined sugar-free version, use jaggery or coconut sugar.

• Add nutmeg or cardamom for more spice variation.
