Apple Spice Streusel Cake with Salted Caramel Drizzle
This incredibly moist cake is full of shredded apples, complete with crunchy streusel top and salted caramel.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 3 cups cups /4 medium apples
- 1 ¼ cups /300g sugar Demerara/Turbinado or white sugar
- ½ cup /125ml vegetable oil
- 4 eggs large
- 3 cups /350g flour all purpose
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp mixed spice or pumpkin spice
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla
For the Streusel Topping
- 5 ½ tbsp flour
- 5 tbsp sugar Demerara/Turbinado or brown sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp mixed spice or pumpkin spice
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 3 tbsp butter slightly softened
- 4 tbsp walnuts chopped
- 2-3 tbsp salted caramel I used Marks and Spencer brand
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C
- Grease a 9 inch square pan. (See the text above for cake pan options) Shred the apples with skin on and mix together with sugar, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients (cake ingredients only). Pour the batter into your pan and smooth the top.
- Mix together the streusel ingredients in a small bowl with a fork or use your hands. The streusel won't be crumbly but will have the consistency of a cookie dough. Pinch off small bits and cover the surface of the cake.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
- Let cool for 30 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cook completely on a wire rack. Drizzle with pre-made salted caramel. (If you caramel sauce is a bit stiff put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, that should help to get it runny and only use a good quality brand you trust.)
