Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (or regular plain yogurt)
½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large apple, peeled and diced
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)

Optional Topping

1–2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8×8-inch baking dish.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until light and smooth. Add yogurt, oil (or butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

4. Combine

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

5. Fold in Fruit

Gently fold in diced apple and blueberries. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour beforehand to prevent sinking.

6. Bake

Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if using.

Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
