Yogurt Pom-Pom

 

Ingredients (for one 15cm × 15cm square baking pan)

・1 apple (Kogyoku/Jonathan variety recommended)

・2 eggs

・50g sugar

・50g olive oil

・100g plain yogurt

・150g cake flour (low-protein flour)

・1 tsp baking powder

・A pinch of cinnamon sugar

・A pinch of powdered sugar

How to make 

[Preparation] Line a square baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 170°C (338°F).

① Crack the eggs into a bowl, then add the sugar, olive oil, and yogurt. Mix well.

② Sift in the cake flour and baking powder. Mix using a cutting motion (folding/stirring gently) until no traces of dry flour remain.

③ Cut the apple—peel and all—into quarter-rounds (thin, fan-shaped slices). Add them to the batter from step ② and mix in roughly.

④ Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle the surface with cinnamon sugar, and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. *Please adjust the temperature and baking time according to your specific oven.*

⑤ Once baked, place the cake on a wire rack to cool. Dust with powdered sugar, cut into serving-sized pieces, and it’s ready to enjoy!
