Apple Coffee Cake

An accidental cake.  That's  what this cake is.  Kebetulan kat rumah banyak sangat apple.  Takde orang makan.  Bila dah lama terbiar,  soggy,  tak crunchy,  lagi la semua orang takmau makan.  Aku had no choice but to google  apple cake recipe.  Penatnya nak browse recipe satu2.  This time,  tawakkal je la. Aku picked one recipe yg aku rasa sesuai dengan jiwa aku. Verdict,  cake ni memang sedap giler!  Rasa mcm ada custard padahal takde custard pun.  

Anyway, today result UPU keluar.  I am so happy that iman dapat placement kat tempat yg dia memang nak.  Alhamdulillah. 

French Apple Coffee Cake

Adapted from onceuponachef

INGREDIENTS

2 cup self raising flour

250gram of  salted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons orange juice/pineapple juice

4 baking apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (Honeycrisp, Fuji or Granny Smith)

Crumbs

125gram salted  butter, at room temperature

1 ½ Tbsp Honey

1 Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar

¼ tsp Vanilla Paste or Pure Vanilla Extract

1 cup of flour (add additional of 1/4 of flour if it's the mixture is too wet) 

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform or regular cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. If using a regular cake pan, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease again.

Cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and juice. Don't worry if the batter looks grainy at this point; that's okay. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped apples.

For the crumbs,  cream butter,  sugar and honey until light and fluffly,  add vanilla.  Add flour and rub with fingers until it resembles crumbs.  

 

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and even the top. Sprinkle evenly with the crumbs. 

Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack.  

Freezer Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, cover it tightly with aluminum foil or freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.
