You are looking to make a cake and you need it right now. Well, you have come to the right place. All you need are the basic ingredients and some fruit and you are well on your way. This is my go-to cake when I need one in a hurry. I have been using this recipe for years.
Now you can use a mixer or you can blend all the ingredients with a spoon. I use a mixer cause it's so much easier. So this is what you will need.
Be sure to watch my youtube video on how I make this quick and easy crumble cake.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup of butter (salted or unsalted)
3/4 cup of sugar (I use cane sugar)
a pinch of salt (if you are using salted butter, otherwise increase the salt to a bit more)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 can of pie filling or fresh fruit
Topping:
1/2 cup of quick oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Put the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and egg into the mixing bowl. Once those ingredients are incorporated add your flour and baking powder.
Lightly mix so that all ingredients are mixed together. You want a crumbly texture.
You will need a shallow pan. I normally use a 9"x10"x1/2" pan and line it with parchment paper.
Put 1/2 to 3/4 of the mixture into the pan and press it down to make a base. Be sure not to compress it down too hard.
Once the base is complete add your fruit.
With the remainder of the mix add 1/2 cup of quick oats and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Combine it and add it on top of your fruit. Place it into a 375-degree oven for 40 minutes and that is it.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Let me know in the comments how your's turned out and be sure to check out my youtube channel for the accompanying video. Until next time.
