Steps:
- Butter the cake pan. Set aside.
- Make the topping: In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the 3 tablespoons of butter cubes over the mixture and use your fingertips to work it in to form a crumbly topping. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cake.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cake: In a small pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to turn a medium nut brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. In a medium bowl, beat the egg and egg yolk to blend. Whisk in the butter and buttermilk, then pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir just to combine. Fold in the apple cubes and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the topping over the cake and arrange the apple slices around the top, lightly pressing them into the topping. Bake until the top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Set on a cooling rack for 20 minutes, then check to see if the sides of the cake are sticking to the pan in any spots. If so, use a thin knife to loosen them. Carefully remove the sides of pan, transfer to a platter, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. In a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
- Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Once the cake mix is in the pan, poke into it thick slices from the 4 peeled and cored small eating apples (Cox's are ideal). Then bake for about 30 mins (half way through baking add the streusel mix on top of one of the cakes, see next step below) until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, roughly rub together the light muscovado sugar, plain flour and butter. Mix in the roughly chopped blanched hazelnuts. Half-way through baking, sprinkle the streusel mix on top of one of the cakes.
- To make the filling, beat the butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in icing sugar. Beat in vanilla extract if you're using it. Spread the butter cream over the bottom of the sponge that doesn't have the streusel on top and sandwich the two halves of the cake. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

Apple streusel cake is a delicious dessert that combines the sweetness of apples, the crunchiness of streusel topping, and the softness of cake. The term "streusel" comes from the German word "streusen," which means to sprinkle, and in this cake, it is used to add a crispy touch to the top of the dessert.
History
Streusel cake recipes have been around for centuries, with early versions originating in Germany and Austria. In the early days, the streusel was mainly made from flour, sugar, and butter, but today, many variations of the recipe include nuts, oats, fruit, and spices. Apple streusel cake was first introduced in North America in the early 20th century when the German immigrants brought their recipe with them. Since then, it has become a popular dessert enjoyed in many countries, especially during autumn and winter.
Ingredients
The ingredients for apple streusel cake vary depending on the recipe, but the main components are apples, sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon. The recipe may also include other spices, such as nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, as well as vanilla extract, eggs, and milk. Some recipes use sour cream or yogurt to make the cake moist, while others use buttermilk. The streusel topping usually contains flour, sugar, and butter, and sometimes nuts, oats, or granola.
Preparation
The preparation of apple streusel cake typically involves three steps: making the cake batter, preparing the streusel topping, and assembling the cake. To make the cake batter, the dry ingredients, such as flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, are mixed in a bowl. In a separate bowl, the wet ingredients, such as eggs, milk or buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, are whisked together. The wet ingredients are then added to the dry ingredients and mixed until blended, but not overmixed. The batter is poured into a greased baking dish. The apples, peeled and sliced into thin wedges, are arranged on top of the batter.
To prepare the streusel topping, the flour, sugar, and butter are rubbed together with fingers until small clumps form. The streusel is then sprinkled over the apples, covering the cake's surface. The cake is baked in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and risen. Once done, the cake is cooled before serving.
Variations
Apple streusel cake is a versatile dessert that can be adapted to include different ingredients and flavors. For example, raisins or dried cranberries can be added to the cake batter or streusel topping to introduce a chewy texture and fruity sweetness. Nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds, can be used in the streusel for a nutty flavor and crunch. To make the cake more moist, yogurt or sour cream can be added to the batter, while cream cheese or whipped cream can be used as a topping.
Gluten-free and vegan apple streusel cake recipes are also available, replacing wheat flour with almond or coconut flour and using plant-based milk and margarine instead of eggs and butter.
Serving
Apple streusel cake is best served warm or at room temperature, accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It can be enjoyed as a dessert after a family meal or as a sweet treat with a cup of tea or coffee. The cake also makes an excellent gift for friends or neighbors during the fall season, wrapped in a festive ribbon or a brown paper bag.
Conclusion
In conclusion, apple streusel cake is a delicious dessert that combines the tartness of apples, the crispiness of streusel, and the softness of cake. It has a long history that dates back to Germany and Austria, and it has become a popular dessert worldwide. The ingredients and preparation methods can vary, allowing for adaptations and creativity. Whether enjoyed warm or cold, alone, or with friends, apple streusel cake is a dessert that never disappoints.
