Instructions
- Ready the oven. If using a standard oven, preheat it to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F. Or at 160 degrees C or 320 degrees F if using a fan-forced oven.
- Using baking or parchment paper, line a greased 8-inch round cake pan.
- Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Then, add the chopped apple and briefly stir.
- Whisk the eggs, vanilla, oil, and yogurt in another bowl.
- To the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and gently stir using a wooden spoon until just mixed.
- Into the prepared cake pan, spoon the batter.
- Mix the cinnamon, sugar, and butter until lumpy and wet. Sprinkle the cinnamon topping on top of the cake batter.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once done, take the cake out of the oven and onto a wire rack to cool.
- In the meantime, whisk the sugar with 1 tbsp milk until smooth to make the glaze. To thin out the glaze, simply add another extra tbsp of milk.
- Over the cooled cake, drizzle the glaze.
