Prepare Apple Cake Base
Preheat oven to 170C.
Sieve the flour and baking powder, and blend. Add in the sugar, and continue to blend well. Add vegetable oil, blend. Beat the eggs, and add to the flour mixture, mixing well with a whisk. Add some yogurt, but not all of it. If the mixture appears to be too thick, add yogurt to make less dense.

Bake and finish the Cake
Add the diced apples to the mixture. Grease and flour a baking dish (round, for cakes, with a 8" diameter).
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking it with a wooden toothpick (if toothpick comes out dry from the center of the cake, the cake is done).
Serve warm or cold.
