Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum included)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 medium apples (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and diced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan with gluten-free flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
