Morning apple cake offers a delicious, comforting taste of fall

In a perfect world, green veggies would taste like honey and your favorite foods would never dream of being Migraine triggers. Since we don’t live in a perfect world, many of us try elimination diets or avoid food triggers to minimize our risk of an attack.

Policing our food choices – although worth the effort – can get exhausting, and we deserve to treat ourselves and our sweet tooths from time to time.

This simple apple cake recipe makes a delicious, comforting cake that is perfect for Sunday morning breakfast – or a fall treat any time of day.

For the apples:

  • 2 apples – peeled, cored, and chopped (or sub berries or peaches)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cake:

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream* (substitute with 1/3 c milk if sensitive to sour cream)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the crumble:

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

For the icing:

  • ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Preparation

1 – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan.

2 – In a small bowl, combine apples, cinnamon, sugars, and vanilla. Set aside and let sit.

3 – In the bowl of your stand mixer, blend together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add oil and beat until a thick batter forms. Add eggs, sour cream (or milk) and vanilla until the batter becomes smooth.
4 – Fold apples into the batter and pour into prepared cake pan.
5 – In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for the crumble. Sprinkle generously over the cake and bake for about 25 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 10 minutes, before transferring to a cake plate otherwise the cake will continue cooking in the pan.
6 – Once completely cool, mix confectioner’s sugar and milk. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk. If the icing seems too thick and pasty add more milk as needed. Note that you want the icing just thick enough to set and harden. Drizzle on the cake.
