Last day of summer

Lots of birthdays recently so I decided to bake a nice coffee cake that I could share with my friends.

11/2 stick unsalted butter at room temperature (plus 1 tablespoon for apples)

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 cup spelt flour

11/2 teaspoons baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon coarse salt

2 cups sugar ( 1 tablespoon for apples)

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3/4 cup whole milk yoghurt

1/4 cup whole milk

2 cups sautéed apples

Core and peel apples. Cut into 1 inch pieces and sauté in 1 tablespoon of butter, add brown sugar and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a tube pan and dust with flour. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In stand mixer bowl beat butter until smooth. Beat in sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs and then vanilla. Add flour and yoghurt milk mixtures in alternating batches until just combined (do not over mix)

Spread half the batter in pan, top evenly with sautéed apples and spread remaining batter on top.

Bake for about 1 hour or until tester comes out clean.

Once cake has cooled off glaze with a mixture of 1 cup of confectioners sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons of milk.

Let cool completely before removing from pan.

Happy birthday
