Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 28

CAKE BATTER
2 Tbsp butter, softened not melted
4 Tbsp sugar
1 large egg
4 Tbsp sour cream (can sub plain yogurt, applesauce or mayo, etc)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c flour (i used all purpose)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 c cinnamon chips or whatever you like, plus some for sprinkling on top
1/2 fuji apple, diced or chopped
OPTIONAL:
1/4 c raisins or fruit of your choice
1/4 c pecans or nuts of your choice
CRUMB TOPPING
2 Tbsp butter, softened
4 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon (or to your taste)
OPTIONAL:
2 Tbsp quick oats
2 Tbsp chopped nuts
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
small mixing bowl (i use 4 cup measuring glass
small/med microwave baking dish (i use 18cm pyrex baker)
measuring cups and spoons
whisk
spatula

Steps:

  • 1. Put 2 TBS room temperature butter into a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup (at least 4 cups).
  • 2. Add 4 TBS sugar, or baking sweetener of your choice, to the softened butter and mix until creamy.
  • 3. Add 1 room temperature egg and whisk until well incorporated.
  • 4. Add 4 TBS sour cream or moistener of your choice (e.g. plain yogurt, mayonnaise, applesauce, etc.) and whisk until well incorporated.
  • 5. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla and whisk until well incorporated.
  • 6. Add 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 tsp baking powder to the batter and mix with spatula until just incorporated.
  • 7. Fold in 1/3 cup cinnamon chips and your apple, along with whatever other additions you like, until combined. Set cake batter aside and make your crumb topping.
  • 8. In a small bowl, put 2 TBS butter, 4 TBS flour, 2 TBS brown sugar, 1 tsp white sugar (can use more if you like a sweeter topping), 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon (more or less to your taste). Using your fingers, mash together to form a crumbly mixture. You can also add 2 TBS quick oats and/or 2 TBS nuts at this point.
  • 9. Spray Pam into a microwave-safe glass baking dish (I use 18 cm Pyrex dish, but you can use smaller or larger depending on how tall you want the cake). Wipe out the dish leaving just a light film.
  • 10. Pour 1/2 of your batter into the bowl and sprinkle about 1/2 of your crumb topping to cover the batter. Add a few chips, raisins or nuts if you like. Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle the remaining crumb topping to cover the batter. Add additional chips nuts and fruit on top of your cake if you desire. I like adding additional cinnamon chips.
  • 11. Microwave on high for 3 minutes and check with a toothpick in the center to see if done. If the toothpick has wet batter, microwave for another minute and check again to see if done. Repeat at 1 minute intervals until done to your liking. My microwave took 6 minutes. Remember, timing will vary depending on the size of your cooking bowl
  • 12. When done cooking, remove from microwave and set on a rack to cool for a bit. Flip out onto a plate and invert onto another plate so top is showing. Cake is ready to serve. You can also serve it straight from the dish if you desire.
  • 13. If you want your cake a bit richer/sweeter, take some softened cream cheese, mix it with honey and cinnamon (to your taste), then drizzle a bit on cake...DEEELISH! You can also use Philadelphia Cream Cheese Indulgence instead of making your own. Just as good.
  • 14. NOTE: if your microwave baking dish is more than 1/2 full, you may want to put a plate under it while cooking to catch any potential overflow.
