Ingredients
- 100 grams Cake flour
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 2 Eggs
- 50 grams Butter (unsalted)
- 15 grams Vegetable oil
- 80 grams Sugar
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 1 Apple
- 1 1/2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 25 grams Cake flour
- 15 grams Butter
- 15 grams Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
Directions
- Make the crumble.
- Melt the butter in a microwave and mix in all of the other crumble ingredients.
- Leave the mixture to cool in the refrigerator before use.
- Make the apple filling.
- Add all of the ingredients except the cinnamon into a saucepan.
- Reduce the liquid over medium heat.
- When the moisture from the apples has evaporated, mix in the cinnamon.
- Turn off the heat soon after you add the cinnamon.
- Reduce the liquid to whatever level you like but I think it's just right when the apples look like they're about to fall apart.
- If the apple mixture is sweet, more liquid will seep out of the apple and the cake will get watery.
- In that case, please let all of the moisture evaporate .
- Make the cake batter.
- Let the eggs warm to room temperature (if it's winter, I warm mine in front of the heater!)
- Soften the butter in the microwave for 20-25 seconds.
- Be careful not to melt it!!
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Then, line your pound cake tin with baking paper and sift the powder ingredients in advance.
- Cream together the butter and sugar.
- When it's mixed together a little, add in the oil, then continue to beat until the mixture is very pale and fluffy.
- This should take at least 3 minutes.
- Break the eggs in 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Don't worry if the mixture separates a little here!
- !
- Add the sifted powder ingredients and fold in with a rubber spatula.
- Pour in the milk and continue to fold the batter.
- Add the apple mixture and fold again.
- Pour the mixture into the pound cake tin and place the finely crushed crumble on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180C.
- To see if the cake is done, insert a skewer into the centre and if no raw batter comes out, it's ready.
- Addendum: Every oven is different, so if the batter inside is still uncooked, please bake for a further 5 minutes.
