Apple Cinnamon Cake with Strawberry Puree Recipe

For the Strawberry Puree:

• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey for a healthier option)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For Garnish:

• Powdered sugar (optional)
• Sliced strawberries or apple slices for decoration

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
6. Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
2. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
