2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and vegetable oil together until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and oil mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and yogurt until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
