Streusel Apple cake

Come back home =D let's start to write my blog in English! Too many troubles i've found once back and too much need to bake =) let's start again, before my second departure :S


Ingredients
For streusel:

  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • For cake dough:
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 16 ounces plain low-fat yogurt
  • 2  apples - peeled, cored and finely diced

  • Preheat oven to 175° degrees C. Grease and flour a Bundt cake pan.
  • To make streusel: In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, 3/4 cup flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a fork until crumbly. Stir in walnuts.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together 3 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Then stir in the vanilla and yogurt. Gently stir in the flour mixture just until blended.
  • Pour 3 cups of the batter into the Bundt pan, sprinkle with 1/4 of the streusel, and layer with apples. Sprinkle with 1/2 the remaining streusel. Pour in the remaining batter, and top with the remaining 1/4 streusel. Lightly pat the top layer of streusel so it sticks to the cake batter.
  • Bake 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack 15 minutes. Place cookie sheet over pan and carefully invert both. Remove Bundt pan, and let the cake cool completely.
