This 13th day of blogtober 2014 is dedicated to some delicious cake 🙂
Your favourite fall/autumn recipe
Most of the recipes in autumn revolve around pumpkin or sweet potatoe, so I decided to share something different with you – no pumpkin or potatoe needed! It’s one of my favourite cake recipes which I came up with myself one day when in mood for yummy desert that could be done with what I had on hand.
PearApple-Cinnamon-Custard filled Crumble Cake
I will use grams and milliliters for my ingredients but you can easily convert it to your preferred measurments here 😉
For the cake base/crust you need:
- 50-80ml (sunflower or any other) oil
- 75gr sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 sachet of vanilla sugar (or well, your choice of vanilla sugar extract)
- 150gr flour
- half a sachet of baking powder
For the filling you need:
- 4-5 shredded or grated apples and/or pears (as you like and if you want more or less of)
- 500ml milk
- a bit of sugar
- cinnamon
- 1 bag/sachet of custard powder (or make ‘real proper custard’ following this recipe)
*************************************************************************
- Mix all the ingredients for the cake base/crust to a smooth dough.
- Take half of the amount and spread it out in a springform pan or a baking tin of your choice. Set the other half aside for the crumbles later on
- Cook the custard as instructed on the bag/sachet of custard powder or take the still warm ‘real proper custard’ if you made that^^
- Add your shredded/grated apples and pears, plus a good amount of cinnamon (to your liking)
- Spread all of it out on your cake base/crust in the baking tin
- Now take the other half of the dough we made in Step 1. and previously set aside. It should be of such consistency that you can crumble it up in your hand (a bit like damp sand on the beach maybe). Let the crumbles fall onto the custard filling until it’s almost fully covered.
- Put it in the pre-heated oven and let it bake at 200°C for about 50mins. After that look and decide for yourself if it needs a bit more baking time. The crumble-top should be golden or very light brown when it’s done.
- Decorate it with some (couverture) chocolate if you like 🙂
Now……dig in !!!
