Apple Cinnamon Cake: A Home-Style Recipe
Cookies & baking · Makes 9 portions · Published October 22, 2026
Diced apples keep this small cake moist while cinnamon gives it a warm aroma. Cut the fruit into small, even pieces so it cooks through with the crumb.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup neutral oil
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
Method
- Heat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square pan. Whisk flour, raising agents, cinnamon and salt.
- Beat eggs with sugar, then stir in oil and yogurt. Fold in dry ingredients just until combined.
- Fold in diced apples. Spread evenly in the pan and bake 35–45 minutes until a skewer in the center comes out clean.
- Cool before slicing. For a party, cut smaller squares and serve on a flat platter rather than stacking warm pieces.
A better result
Large apple chunks can leave wet pockets. Keep the dice about 1/2 inch and avoid overmixing once flour is added.
Serve it together
