📝 Preparation Steps
1
Crumb topping:
2
Combine both sugars, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and stir until well combined. Stir in walnuts, if using. Place in the refrigerator while you continue with the cake.
3
Cake:
4
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
5
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
6
In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until well combined, at least one full minute. Add eggs, sour cream, applesauce, and vanilla, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. The mixture might look curdled, that's ok.
(200g) granulated sugar1 cuplarge eggs (room temperature)2(278g) finely diced peeled apple*2 cups
7
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until almost fully combined. A few streaks of flour are fine, be careful not to overmix. In a separate bowl, combine apples, cinnamon and flour. Stir the apple mixture into the cake batter.
8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Remove the crumb topping from the refrigerator and sprinkle it over the top of the cake batter. Bake for ⏱️ 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (mine took exactly ⏱️ 30 minutes, begin checking it at 25). Place the pan on a wire rack to cool.
9
Toffee sauce:
10
Add brown sugar, butter, cream, and salt to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for one to two minutes (the brown sugar should be fully dissolved). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow it to cool down at room temperature. It will thicken as it cools. Serve warm sauce over slices of cake.
