Ingredients
For the cake
- 125 g | 4 1/2 oz cups plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 125 g | 4 1/2 oz sugar
- 125 g | 4 1/2 oz soft butter or margarine
- 2 medium eggs
- 4-5 sweet crisp apples, peeled, cored and cut into slices
For the streusel
- 150 g | 5oz plain flour
- 125 g | 4 1/2 oz sugar
- 100 g | 3 1/2 oz butter cubed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
Toffee sauce
- 125 g | 4 1/2 oz soft brown sugar
- 125 ml | 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tbsp rum optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and spray a 20cm /8inch springform tin with cake release. Line the bottom with baking paper and spray again.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into the bowl of your stand mixer.
- Add all the other ingredients and mix together with the paddle attachment on low speed setting until combined.
- Increase the speed and mix for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl halfway, until the ingredients are all evenly mixed and batter is smooth.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared tin, level and arrange the apple slices over the top.
- Put all the streusel ingredients into a bowl and rub them between your fingers until you have a crumbly texture. Alternatively pulse all the ingredients together in a food processor.
- Cover the apples with the streusel, pinching the crumble between your fingers to create some large pieces.
- Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for ten minutes then carefully turn the cake out onto a plate.
- Make the toffee sauce: stir the ingredients over medium heat without boiling until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer for three minutes and transfer into jar to cool.
- Drizzle a little of the toffee sauce over the cooled cake or serve the cake warm, topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with the sauce.
