Cake
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter warm
- ½ cup sour cream (full fat) room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Glaze
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease the 9" springform pan with baking cooking spray or butter. Recommend putting some parchment paper on the bottom of the pan & along the sides first.
Crumb
- In a small bowl: combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, salt and mix. Add melted butter & mix until it begins to form coarse crumbs.
Apple Mixture
- Peel & remove core of the apples. Cut into ¼" cubes and then place in a bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, melted butter and salt. Mix everything together and set aside.
Cake
- In a large bowl: add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt then mix. Highly recommend that you sift the dry ingredients before mixing them into the wet ingredients. This will form a smoother batter and the cake will be very soft & fluffy.
- Add eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, melted butter and mix everything together until smooth.
- Transfer the batter to the pan. Add apple mixture on top of the batter. Then, add the crumb on top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes (it took me 56 min) or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and rest the cake in the pan for 30 minutes or until cool to touch.
Glaze
- In a small bowl- add powdered sugar, milk and mix until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cake.
