Why you'll love it: The cake uses Greek yogurt, which infuses each slice with moisture and a light flavor, contrasting beautifully with the sweetness of the apples. Using erythritol as a sweetener makes it a guilt-free indulgence that can be enjoyed even by those watching their sugar intake.

Decorating Tips: For a rustic yet elegant finish, arrange the apple slices in concentric circles on top of the top layer. A pinch of powdered erythritol or a light drizzle of honey before serving can add an extra touch of sweetness and a professional bakery look.

Ingredients:

• 250 grams of flour
• 150 grams of Greek yogurt
• 50 grams of erythritol
• 2 large eggs
• 120 ml of milk
• 1 sachet of baking powder
• 3 fresh apples
• The zest of a lemon

1. Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F). Prepare a 20/22 cm cake tin by lining the bottom with baking paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest and erythritol until the mixture becomes pale and frothy.
3. Stir in Greek yogurt and milk until well combined.
4. Sift in the flour and baking powder, folding gently so that the mixture remains light.
5. Thinly slice the apples and toss them with a little lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
6. Pour a third of the batter into the prepared pan, arrange a layer of apple slices and repeat two more times, ending with a layer of apples.
7. For the finishing touch, artistically arrange the top layer of apple slices and sprinkle a little more erythritol on top for a sweet crust.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Check the doneness with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
9. Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Appreciate! This cake is a testament to the simple pleasures of baking and the timeless charm of apple desserts.
