Irish Apple Crumble Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 360°F, grease and line a 8-inch cake tin with a removable base. With an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until pale. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until they are incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until you have a thick cake batter. Stir in the apple slices and pour the batter into the cake tin. The batter will be thick, so use a spatula to spread across the base of the tin. Using a hand blender with a food processor attachment, blend the ingredients for the crumble topping until you get left with rough crumbs. You can also do this by hand in a bowl using your fingertips to combine the ingredients together. Sprinkle the crumble topping on top of the batter. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, granulated sugar and salt. Next, rub in the cold butter until fully incorporated and you've reached the texture of coarse breadcrumbs. Set aside in the fridge while you make the cake.
• Make the cake: Cream the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs one at a time. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula along with the milk. Once the batter has formed, transfer it to the prepared pan and lay on the sliced apples, making sure they are arranged in one even layer. Cover the apples with all the streusel topping.
• Bake the cake until the top is golden brown and crisp, 60 to 70 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before turning out of the pan onto a rack. When ready to serve, dust the cake with confectioners' sugar.
