Ingredients

Topping

50 g brown sugar ¼ cup packed
1 teaspoon mixed spice
25 g butter (chilled) Coconut oil in its solid form can be used as an alternative.
20 g almond 2-3 Tablespoons
20 g rolled oats 2 Tablespoons

Cake

2 apples large
120 ml olive oil (mild) ½ cup. This can be substituted for 125g of melted butter or 125g of melted coconut oil.
2 eggs
150 g brown sugar ¾ cup (packed)
240 g plain flour 1 ½ cups
2 Tablespoons cocoa 2 Tablespoons
2 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius (360 Fahrenheit) , and line a cake tin. I use a 21 cm square cake tin.
Place all the crumble topping ingredients in your food processor, pulse until a crumble topping forms. Set the topping aside.
Sift the flour, cocoa,mixed spice and baking soda (being sure to crush any large lumps of baking soda) into a large mixing bowl.
Add the second measure of brown sugar and use a whisk or fork to combine it with the other dry ingredients.
Grate the apples, and add to dry ingredients along with the oil and eggs.
Combine with a wooden spoon.
Spoon the cake batter into your prepared cake tin, and sprinkle on the crumble topping.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the centre of the cake springs back when pressed.
