Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 apples, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup streusel topping (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it with butter or cooking spray and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl: whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Cream the brown sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the sour cream and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the dry mixture into your batter gradually, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the diced apples gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan evenly.
- Add the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Serve warm with whipped cream or powdered sugar, alongside fresh fruit or caramel sauce.
