Preparation

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Lightly grease a 9″ pie dish or if you are using a cake tin make sure it is springform.
  • In a food processor, mix together the All purpose flour, caster sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla essence until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Remove approximately one a half cups of this mixture in a bowl and refrigerate. This will be the crumb topping.
  • To the remaining mixture in the food processor, add the baking powder, bicarbonate soda, buttermilk and eggs. Mix well.
  • Pour the batter in your greased dish making sure it spreads evenly.
  • Remove the crumb topping mixture from the fridge and sprinkle evenly over the cake batter.
  • Place the Vanilla Crumb Cake in your pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. (the baking time may vary depending on your oven, but it took me approximately 25 – 30 minutes).
