Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and all-purpose flour.
- Alternating between the dry ingredients and the milk, gradually add both into the butter mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined after each addition.
- Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped strawberries to the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of self-raising flour and 2 tablespoons of butter, using your fingers or a fork to create a crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden and a bit crispy.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning to ensure a smooth batter.
- When chopping the fruit, aim for even, small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the cake.
- Don’t overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid a dense texture.
- For a golden-brown crumble, add a little more butter to the topping mix if needed.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and neat presentation.
