Equipment

  • 2lb loaf tin

Ingredients
  

Crumb

  • 90 g plain flour
  • 65 g light brown soft sugar
  • 50 g unsalted butter melted

Cake

  • 225 g unsalted butter
  • 225 g light brown soft sugar
  • 225 g self raising flour
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 200 g cooking apples chopped weight
  • 0.5-2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional

Sugar

  • 50 g light brown soft sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Drizzle

  • 50 g icing sugar
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • water

Instructions
 

Crumb

  • Add the flour, sugar and melted butter to a bowl and mix to combine until lumpy
  • Chill in the fridge for now

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºc/160ºc fan and line a 2lb loaf tin
  • Peel and chop the apples into cubes, about 2cm in size
  • Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and beat until light and fluffy
  • Add the flour, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon and mix until smooth
  • Add the chopped apple and mix through

Sugar

  • In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together

Assembly

  • Put one third of the cake mix in the lined tin, and sprinkle half of the brown sugar mix over the top.
  • Repeat with another third of cake mix, and the rest of the brown sugar
  • Top with the last third of cake mix
  • Grab the crumb mixture, and fluff it up slightly with a fork to break it up into smaller pieces, and then sprinkle over the top of the cake
  • Bake the cake in the oven for 55-65+ minutes, until baked through. If towards the end it's starting to brown a lot, cover with foil until baked fully.
  • Remove from the oven and cool fully in the tin

Decoration

  • Mix together the icing sugar, cinnamon and add water 1tsp at a time to reach a drizzle consistency that you like
  • Drizzle over the cake and serve

Notes

This cake will last for 3+ days at room temperature (or in the fridge on a hot day). You can freeze this cake for 3+ months. Recommended to use cooking/bramley apples for best results. The crumble topping and icing drizzle are optional.
