Apple Crumble Cake Recipe

On By MeghaIn Food

This is a simple cake that’ll startle you with its rich crunchiness. It tantalizes taste buds with its fresh apple and the kiss of cinnamon to add to its beautiful flavours.

I baked this cake a couple of hours back and everyone has been delightfully surprised with the way it has turned out.

Servings: 12 to 14

Difficulty Level: Medium

Ingredients:

The Crumb Topping:

  • Butter – 5 tbsp
  • Sugar – 1/2 cup
  • All-purpose flour – 1/2 cup
  • Salt – 1/4 Tsp

For the cake:

  • All-purpose flour – 2 cups
  • Baking powder – 2 Tsp
  • Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
  • Salt – 1/4 Tsp
  • Ground Cinnamon – 1/2 tsp (I ground it at home)
  • Butter – 8 tbsp
  • Sugar – 1 cup
  • Eggs (whole) – 2
  • Vanilla essence 2 tsp
  • Yoghurt – 1/2 cup (I used the home set curd)
  • Apple – 2 peeled, cored and diced

Method:

For the Crumb Topping:

  • Mix together butter, sugar, flour and salt with a fork till you get a crumbly mixture.
  • Mix in chopped walnuts and refrigerate (do not put in freezer) till required.

For the Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (about 355 degrees F).
  • Grease and line the bottom and sides of an 8″ round or square tin.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon powder. Keep this mixture aside.
  • Beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light, about 4 minutes.
  • Mix in eggs one by one, beating for about 1 minute after each addition followed by vanilla essence.
  • Add the flour mixture and yoghurt alternately, beginning and ending with flour.
  • Beat well till you get a smooth batter.
  • The batter will be thick. Mix in the diced apple.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared cake tin and even out the top using a spatula.
  • Sprinkle over the crumb topping evenly.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or till crumbs are golden and the bamboo skewer inserted comes out clean.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve plain or with some whipped cream or custard.

    1. Sorry Nikita, I have no clue about this cake’s eggless version. It being quite heavy on the ingredients needs oven baking. Though I’ll surely let you know of any eggless version if I come across one 😀

      I was actually singing this song while baking this cake:
