Apple Cream Coffee Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Apple Cream Coffee Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom to ensure your cake comes out easily after baking. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flax seeds, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Now, in a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until it's creamy. Gradually add in 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of white sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 5 minutes. Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to incorporate each egg fully before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for that lovely aroma. Now, it's time to combine the dry and wet ingredients. Gradually mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, and beat well after each addition until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in the chopped apple, adding a burst of flavor to your cake. Pour half of the batter into the prepared tube pan, spreading it evenly. Layer the thinly sliced apples over the batter, creating a beautiful and delicious layer. Sprinkle half of the oat mixture over the apple slices, adding a delightful crunch. Pour the remaining batter over the top, smoothing it out, and finish by sprinkling the rest of the oat mixture on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake stand in the pan for 30 minutes. Carefully loosen the sides of the cake with a thin spatula or knife, then let it cool completely before lifting it from the pan. Enjoy your delicious apple cream coffee cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
