Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- 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.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and all-purpose flour.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- 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.
5. Prepare Fruit:
- Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped strawberries to the batter.
6. Fill the Cake Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Make the Crumble Topping:
- 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.
8. Bake the Cake:
- 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.
9. Cool and Serve:
- 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.
