This is an easy Apple Cinnamon cake with walnuts crumble topping. Not only moist and soft, its also left the whole house smelling of cinnamon during the process of baking. I remember once I baked 5 of this Apple Cinnamon Cake for the School Fun Fair and one of my dear blogger friend also loved this cake very much.
Crumble Topping:
30g Plain flour
20g Sugar
1/4 tsp Cinnamon powder
80g Walnuts ~ chop to pieces
10g Soft butter
Mix all topping ingredients together with your fingertips and put aside for later use.
Cake Ingredients
220g Plain flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp Salt
150g Butter
150g Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla flavor
40g Whipping cream
2 Green apples ~ peeled and diced (not too small)
Methods:
- Sift all the dry ingredients together.
- In mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy then add in whipping cream, continue to beat till light.
- Then add in vanilla flavor and eggs one at a time.
- Scrape bowl and add the flour ingredients, mix well.
- Add in all chopped green apples and use a rubber spatula to fold well and pour into a 8"round lined cake tin.
- Lastly sprinkle the Crumble Topping on top of the apple mixture evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven 180C and bake at about 50 mins.
Enjoy

ReplyDeleteOoh, this cake looks so moist and fluffy. I love the taste and smell of cinnamon. I bet my kids and hubby would enjoy this. If I wasn't allergic to nuts, I'd be gobbling this deliciousness down with a nice cup of tea as well. Wonderful cake!

ReplyDeleteHello ALL ~Thank you for all your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteWiffy ~ hahaa...when bake this cake, you must add extra walnuts.

Really a good recipe to try out. I especially love the crumble toppings. By the way, will the apples turn brownish inside after baking? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Bren, I think I never see bake other cakes beside fondant. Hope you like this cake after trying it.
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, I am interested to bake this care. So appreciate if you could help me with these questions. Thanks and appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteshould the butter for the crumble topping be very cold or room temperature?
should the crumble topping be like breadcrumbs after they have been mixed?
do I cream the butter and sugar with an electric handheld mixer? If yes, how long?
how long must I beat the mixture with an electric handheld mixer after the addition of whipped cream?
do I continue to beat the mixture with an electric handheld mixer after adding the vanilla extract?
do I continue to beat the mixture with an electric handheld mixer after each addition of egg? If yes, how long must I beat after each addition of egg?
am I supposed to mix flour into the batter with a spatula or using the electric handheld mixer? If using an electric handheld mixer, is it on low speed?
I don't have an 8" round baking tin can I use a 8" square instead? Any change in baking time?
Thanks and appreciate your patience but really would like to hear from you!
Hi Ai Li,
Deletehehee... you got a long list of questions ^_^
I already stated soft butter for the crumble.
Not to worry about the crumble, just mix them with your finger tip and it's not very fine like breadcrumb because of the chopped walnuts.
Sorry I never use a electric handheld mixer before. I always used kenwood mixer or kitchen aid to beat the butter and sugar and I never check my beating time. As long the mixture looks pale white and light, I'll add in the next ingredient. Only take a minute to combine the whipping cream together.
Yes, add in the vanilla extract and continue to add in the egg one at a time at low speed. When you see the egg is mixed well in the batter, then continue to add in the next one.
Just slowly pour the flour into the batter and continue to mix at low speed until combined.
If you're using a 8' square tin, the cake will be lower. For timing you can test it with a skewer after 40 minutes of baking.
Hope I have answered all your questions :)
Thank you so much for taking time to answer my questions. Really appreciate it!
Deletecan this be done with regular red apples?
ReplyDeleteyes but using green apples are more crunchy.
