Apple Crumble Cake

Ingredients

Cake

• 3 eggs, room temperature
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 sachet vanilla (or 1 tsp)
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• A pinch of nutmeg
• A pinch of ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 sachet baking powder
• 3 large apples, any kind

Crumble

• 75 g butter
• 5 tbsp flour
• 5 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Method

1. Beat the oil and sugar with the mixer, add the eggs one at a time with the vanilla, then the milk.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, spices and salt together, add to the batter and stir. It should be fairly firm, not runny.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C, line a springform pan with parchment and pour in the batter. Peel and slice the apples and arrange over the batter.
4. In a bowl rub the butter with the flour, sugar and cinnamon by hand until crumbly like sand (you may need more flour), scatter over the apples, then the almonds.
5. Bake on the middle rack about an hour. Decorate with powdered sugar and sweetened condensed milk to taste.
