So this week I decided to try a new recipe: Apple Streusel Cake and it turned out great especially with a scoop of vanilla icecream on top!
Here is the recipe, Hope you enjoy!
Cake:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
9 tbsp butter, at room temperature
2/3 granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled cored and cut into chunks
1/2 cup golden raisins(optional)
For Streusel Topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar or light brown sugar , packed
1/3 ground almonds (optional)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
5 tbsp butter, cubed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, lightly grease 8in pan and line the bottom with parchment paper .
Sift the flour into a bowl, add the butter, sugar, cinnamon, eggs and vanilla beat with an electric mixture until light and fluffy.
Scrape mixture into the pan and scatter the apple and raisins over the top.
To make the topping:
In another bowl stir together the flour, sugar, ground almonds and cinnamon. Rub the cubed butter into the mixture with your fingertips until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. Scatter an even layer of the topping over the fruit, pressing down gently. Bake for 1 hr 20 min.
Note: Instead of using almonds for the topping I just used a handful of oats, it turned out delicious!
