A moist and comforting apple cake with a crunchy cinnamon crumble topping, served with a dollop of rich clotted cream. Perfect for pairing with a savory soup.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples.
Prepare the cinnamon crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the cinnamon crumble topping evenly over the top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of clotted cream.

For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil in the cake batter.
Add chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) to the crumble topping for extra crunch.

Warm the cake slightly before serving to enhance the flavors and aroma.

"Pairs perfectly with this dessert"

A light and refreshing Jersey Royal potato salad with peppery watercress and a zesty lemon-dill vinaigrette. Perfect as a starter or side dish.
"The earthy, slightly sweet flavour of Jersey Royal potatoes provides a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the carrot and lentil soup. The peppery watercress and bright lemon-dill vinaigrette cut through the creaminess, cleansing the palate and preparing it for the main course."
