Recipe of Gluten-free apple and cinnamon sponge cake

Vida Recetas Editorial

Discover how to make a apple cake fluffy and gluten-free, perfect for a healthy snack or a comforting breakfast. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of apples with the warm aroma of cinnamon, achieving a moist and airy texture that will surprise everyone, even those not following a gluten-free diet.

The secret lies in using gluten-free flour, Greek yogurt, and vegetable oil, which provide moisture without the need for butter. The apple is incorporated in two ways: diced for flavor in every bite, and sliced for decorating the top, creating a rustic and appetizing finish.

This recipe is ideal for beginners, as it only requires mixing dry and wet ingredients separately and then combining them without overmixing. The result is a tender cake that crumbles slightly, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tang. You can serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or pair it with a latte.

If you're looking for a gluten-free option that doesn't sacrifice flavor or texture, this cake will become your favorite recipe. Additionally, you can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar or add chopped nuts for a crunchy touch.

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a medium-sized round cake pan with baking paper. Place the apple cut into cubes in a bowl and spray it with the juice of 1/2 lemon, this will prevent it from oxidizing. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon. Mix the eggs, the essence, the yogurt and the oil in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. It's important not to overdo it.

    Add the diced apple, stir and pour the mixture into the mold. Garnish with the apples cut into slices. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon on top. Bake for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack to cool completely. Place the icing sugar in a bowl and add lemon juice little by little, mix until you get the desired density and bathe the the cake.
