A delightful cake combining the flavors of apples and cinnamon, topped with a crunchy crumble and a sweet glaze.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.
Sift the flour for a lighter cake texture.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients alternately to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
Mix just until combined to avoid overmixing.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter, pressing them slightly into the batter.
Overlap the slices slightly for a decorative look.
Bake the cake for 20 minutes.
Check the cake halfway through to ensure even baking.
While the cake bakes, prepare the crumble topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use a fork or pastry cutter for best results.
After 20 minutes, sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the partially baked cake.
Distribute the crumble evenly for consistent texture.
Continue baking for another 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist.
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing.
Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and warm water until smooth.
Adjust the consistency by adding more water or sugar as needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
Use a spoon or piping bag for precise drizzling.
Slice and serve the cake, enjoying its delightful flavors.
Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect treat.
