A tender, warming spiced loaf cake loaded with fresh apples that gets even softer and more flavorful after a day or two.

This beautifully spiced apple loaf cake is the ultimate make-ahead dessert! Packed with fresh diced apples, warm cinnamon powder, and a hint of nutmeg powder, it smells absolutely heavenly while baking. The secret to its incredible shelf life is the combination of brown sugar and yoghurt, which locks in moisture and ensures the cake stays incredibly soft and tender for days. In fact, the flavors deepen and it becomes even more delicious on day two or three! Perfect for a cozy afternoon treat or paired with a cup of coffee.

Ingredients

  • 300 g Apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • 190 g Flour
  • 150 g Brown Sugar
  • 115 g Butter
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 120 g Yoghurt
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon Powder
  • 0.5 tsp Nutmeg Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
  • 0.5 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease your loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper if you have it.
  2. 2
    Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Peel and core the apples, then dice them into small, even chunks.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, vigorously whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until smooth.
  4. 4
    Whisk the eggs into the sugar mixture one at a time, followed by the yoghurt and vanilla powder until thoroughly combined.
  5. 5
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. 6
    Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just a few flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  7. 7
    Fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
  8. 8
    Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. 9
    Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tips

  • Wrapping the cake securely in your plastic wrap while it is still just slightly warm will trap the moisture, keeping it incredibly soft for up to 3 days.
  • For an extra treat, whisk a few tablespoons of icing sugar with a tiny splash of canned cream or water to create a sweet glaze to drizzle over the top.
