Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 250 grams of butter at room temperature
  • 150 grams 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of golden syrup
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 120 grams about 1/2 cup of milk
  • 225 grams 1 1/2 cups of self-raising flour
  • 5 apples peeled and thinly sliced

For the Crumble:

  • 125 grams 1 cup of plain flour
  • 75 grams 1 cup of rolled oats
  • 100 grams of softened butter
  • 80 grams 1/2 cup of brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (if it has a fan, use that setting).
  • Prepare a 23cm round cake tin by greasing it and lining it with baking paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Use an electric beater on high speed until it's light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, golden syrup, vanilla essence, and milk to the mixture. Keep using the beater on low speed until everything becomes smooth and creamy.
  • Sift in the self-raising flour and mix on low speed just until it's combined. Don't overmix.
  • Spread half of this cake batter into your prepared tin.
  • Place half of the apple slices in a thin layer on top of the batter.
  • Now, spread the remaining cake batter over the apples.
  • Top it off with the remaining apple slices. Set it aside.
  • In another bowl, use your fingers to mix together the plain flour, rolled oats, butter, and sugar until you get crumbs. Don't make them too fine.
  • Sprinkle these crumbs over the cake and press them down lightly.
  • Put the cake in the oven and bake for around 60 minutes. Check it by inserting a skewer into the middle; it should come out clean. It might need a bit more time, depending on your oven.
  • After baking, let it cool in the tin for 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy your delicious Apple Crumble Cake!
