Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or oil and lightly dust it with whole wheat flour to prevent sticking.

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined.

In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients until they are fully blended.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Add Diced Apples
Fold in the diced apples gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the Batter into the Pan
Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Cake
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy
Once the cake is completely cool, slice it and serve it as a delicious dessert or snack.
