Apple cake (Egg free)

Ingredients and Method to make Apple Cake (Adapted from this recipe)
1 and 1/3 cup unbleached all purpose flour (maida)
1 cup whole wheat flour ( atta) (see notes)
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Wet ingredients
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
4 cups apples, peeled,cored and cut into little pieces ( I used almost 5 apples for this)
1 stick butter (8 tbsp ) melted

Preheat oven @ 325 deg F. Grease a 9x 13 inch cake pan or a bundt cake pan and keep aside. I used a bundt cake pan.

Peel, core and cut apples into tiny pieces and keep aside.

In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients well. Add whisked yogurt to it and mix well. Add milk and mix well.  Melt butter and add to the mixture and mix well. Finally add apple pieces and mix again. Pour the batter into the prepared tin, and place in the oven and bake for about 45 to 50 mins or until a cake tester or tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean or nearly clean with only slightly moist crumbs clinging to it.

Cool thoroughly, slice and enjoy:) Best within a day or two of baking, any longer and I would suggest the cake be refrigerated.

Notes:
You can substitute whole wheat flour with all purpose flour (maida) too, and can make the entire cake in apf.

When hot this cake is very, very tender and I would suggest waiting for it to cool before handling/ slicing it. Once it cools it firms up and is much easier to handle.
