Caramel Crumb Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350ºfF). Grease a 20cm (8-inch) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a non-stick pan for easy cake removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Sift the dry ingredients to ensure even distribution.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for efficient creaming.

4. 4

   Add the milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.

   Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined.

   Tip: Avoid overmixing to maintain cake texture.

6. 6

   Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the crushed almonds evenly over the batter.

   Tip: This will create a crunchy topping on your cake.

7. 7

   Drizzle the melted butter over the almonds.

   Tip: This will help the almonds stick to the batter.

8. 8

   Top with the remaining batter. Smooth the top with a spatula.

   Tip: Create a smooth surface for even baking.

9. 9

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Check the cake frequently to avoid overbaking.

10. 10

    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

    Tip: Don't remove the cake from the pan yet, as it will crack.

11. 11

    Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Tip: This will help the cake set and prevent it from breaking.

12. 12

    Once the cake is cool, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top.

    Tip: You can adjust the amount of caramel sauce to your liking.

13. 13

    Slice the cake into 6-8 servings and serve.

    Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
