Apple Streusel Cake
This is a lovely dessert and a great way to use up leftover apples. It is an adaptation of plum cake, which is a traditional German cake. It tastes delicious served either hot or cold.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 12 servings
Ingredients
½ cup sugar
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch of salt
¼ cup butter
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp almond extract
Milk
Cinamon for sprinkling
Streusel:
1 cup plain flour
¼ cup sugar
½ cup softened butter
Method
Peel and chop the apples into thin quarter slices. Let the apples soak in a bowl of water and vinegar, to stop them from turning brown.
Mix the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and butter in a mixing bowl. The mixture will be quite dry and crumbly.
Add in the beaten egg and almond extract.
Mix in enough milk to thicken the cake batter.
Spread the mixture thinly into a lightly greased baking tin.
Drain and rinse the apple slices, and arrange in rows on top of the cake batter.
Lightly dust the apples with cinnamon.
For the streusel topping, mix the butter into the flour and sugar until the mixture forms crumbs.
Sprinkle over the apple slices until evenly covered.
Add dollops of butter on top.
Bake in the oven for 180ºC for 20 minutes or until golden.
Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then slice into pieces.
Enjoy either hot or cold
