This delicious cake is perfect for morning or afternoon tea with friends or just a treat for the family! If you like cinnamon, you will love this. Although there are three components, it is a basic recipe that produces a special result.
Cinnamon sugar
20g rapadura sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and quartered (optional)
Crumble
60g salted butter
50g rapadura sugar
50g almonds
30g unbleached white spelt flour
1 tsp cinnamon
Cake
75g salted butter
200g milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla powder
250g unbleached white spelt flour
70g rapadura sugar
3 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the base and grease the sides of an 18-20cm round or square cake tin.
2. Place Cinnamon sugar ingredients in mixer bowl. Combine for 5 seconds/speed 5/MC on – if you are including apple, set to speed 6 instead. Remove and set aside.
3. Place all Crumble ingredients in mixer bowl. Combine for 10 seconds/speed 5/MC on. Remove and set aside (in a separate bowl to the cinnamon sugar).
4. To make the Cake batter, place butter in mixer bowl. Melt for 2 minutes/60/speed 2/MC on.
5. Add milk, eggs and vanilla. Combine for 5 seconds/speed 4/MC on.
6. Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine for 10 seconds/speed 4/MC on.
7. Pour half of the cake batter into prepared tin. Use a spatula to spread and cover entire base. Top with cinnamon sugar, ensuring a fairly even coverage.
8. Top with remaining cake batter. Use your spatula to carefully spread to cover the cinnamon sugar completely. Use a butter knife to gently “swirl” the layers of cake with cinnamon sugar.
9. Pinch off pieces of the crumble and scatter it over the surface of the cake as evenly as possible.
10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
11. Leave in the tin for 5 minutes before removing onto a cake cooling rack. Serve warm or cold.

Wow! This cake looks impressive, smells divine and tastes amazing! Will definitely make again.
Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe. I have made it a few times and received rave reviews! I am going to try a nut free version with oats instead of almonds to make it ok for lunches at school
[…] taste testers (ie. my family) tell me that this is the best cake I’ve created. Since my Cinnamon Crumble Cake recipe went viral, that’s really saying something! This is a moist cake, with little […]
This is fantastic. Everyone who tastes it asks for the recipe!
Yummo! My whole family enjoyed this cake. I usually get comments about using my ‘weird’ flour when I use spelt – but not with this one! The recipe is so easy to follow – a great one for my 9 year old to help with too. Thank you for a great recipe!
Yum, I make this quite a bit. Made it as muffins today for a lunch box treat. Worked beautifully. Thanks Bec!
Is there any alternative to rapdura sugar to make a fructose free alternative?
It looks divine!!
Rice malt syrup would be fine in it, you’ll need to increase the amount, though, as it isn’t as sweet as rapadura
Yum Yum Yum, the whole family loves it and it is so easy to make. I am a lazy cook and if it looks like there are too many steps I won’t even have a go, but this was so easy !!
Haven’t made this with the apple addition yet, but just wanted to let you know that I tried it today using rolled oats instead of almonds (to make it school friendly) and it turned out lovely. I also added 1 cup of mushed pumpkin to the cake section. I’ll have 3 very happy little campers off to school tomorrow, and a somewhat larger one off to work..
I love your addition of pumpkin!!
Wow! Made this DF with a mix of nuttelex and ghee. Brought it along to a dessert-hating clan. Had zero leftovers! Massive hit. Thx Bec
