Try a New Recipe Tuesday

I love apple cakes. There is something about them that is so comforting. I also love trying new recipes. Here is my latest try of an apple cake recipe which I tried yesterday. There was but a lonely piece left after 2 hours. This recipe is easy and delicious, just the way I like it since I am always looking for something to make late in the day. This recipe is also great for using those yogurts you neeed to finish before the pending expiry date.

I halved the recipe and put it in a 9"round cake pan.

Apple Yogurt Cake


  • 1 1/2 cups yogurt, 
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced (about 1/4 cup), I used bottled lemon juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 small tart apples, such as Granny Smith, about 1 1/2 pounds
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided 
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with baking spray or olive oil.
1. Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. 
2. Peel, core and dice the apples. Stir the chopped apple into the liquid ingredients.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon right into the liquids and stir just until no lumps remain. 
4. In a small separate bowl, mix the remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon with the brown sugar and butter.
5. Pour half of the batter into the cake pan, then sprinkle the batter with half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture, dropping it on the batter in small lumps. 
6. Spread the rest of the batter over top, and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-brown sugar.
7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, covering with foil at the end if the top is browning. When a tester comes out clean, transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. 
Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.
Et Voila! Enjoy!

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
