Today’s short blog post is definitely a sure favourite in my family. This cake is super spicy with the sweet combination of cinnamon and brown sugar alongside fresh apple! Yummo.
Spiced Apple Cake
For the cake:
- 125g butter (melted)
- 2 medium apples (grated)
- 1 c sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ c flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsps cinnamon
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1 tsp salt
For the topping:
- 25 grams of butter, melted
- ½ a cup of rolled oats
- ¼ of a cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (I added a tad more!)
Melt butter in the microwave. Add grated apple, skin and all. Add sugar and egg and beat until well mixed. Stir in sifted ingredients, mix to dampen then turn into a square or round tin. I like to try and jazz things up where I can so I decorated the top of the cake mixture with a circle of overlapping apple slices.
To make topping, stir dry ingredients into melted butter. Sprinkle over cake. Bake at 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Looks delicious – I love cakes that have a crumble-y topping like this.
This cake is to die for! Even better served with a bit of natural yoghurt on the side 🙂
