Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use as a substitute for plain yogurt in this recipe?
You can substitute Greek yogurt for plain yogurt, which will make the cake richer. Alternatively, sour cream can also work well as a substitute.
How should I store the Lemon, Apple, and Yogurt Cake after baking?
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, where it will last for up to a week. You can also freeze it; just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and it will last for about 2-3 months.
What should I do if my cake doesn't rise properly?
Ensure that your baking powder is fresh, as expired baking powder can lead to a flat cake. Additionally, be careful not to overmix the batter when adding the flour, as this can lead to a dense cake. Lastly, check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer to ensure it’s accurate.
