Ingredients:
For the cake:
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cupvegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1/2 cupfull-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoonvanilla extract
1/2 cupgranulated sugar
1/2 cuplight brown sugar, packed
2 cupsall-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoonsbaking powder
1/2 teaspoonbaking soda
1/2 teaspoonkosher salt
1 teaspoonground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoonground ginger
2 apples (such as Honeycrisp or Braeburn) peeled and grated, about 2 cups
For the glaze:
1 cuppowdered sugar
2 tablespoonswhole milk, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoonground turmeric
1/4 teaspoonvanilla extract
Directions:
Make the cake: Heat oven to 350°F with an oven rack in the center. Grease a parchment-lined 8×8-inch cake pan with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients: eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Add the sugars and whisk again until a homogeneous mixture forms.
Fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula until there are no white streaks, try to avoid over-mixing. Then fold in the grated apples.
Pour cake batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and after 10 minutes, flip upside down on a wire rack.
While the cake cools, make the glaze: Whisk together the sugar, milk, turmeric, and vanilla extract, adding up to 1 more tablespoon of milk to achieve a pourable consistency (still thick, but flowing).
Pour the glaze over the completely cooled cake, let it set for a few minutes and then slice and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
