Recipe
-Heat oven to 350.
-Butter a 2-quart Charlotte mold or a 9-inch tube pan and sprinkle with the bread crumbs, tapping out the excess.
-Prepare the Crumb Topping: in a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
-With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the batter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
-In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, allspice, and cloves.
-In a small bowl, stir the butter, sour cream, and eggs until they are well combined.
-Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture just until the mixtureis smooth and satiny.
-Stir in the apples.
-Spread the batter into the prepared mold.
-Sprinkle with crumb topping.
-Bake the cake for 1 hour or until the crumbs are lightly browned and a cake tester comes out clean. (If you are using a tube pan, start testing for doneness after 45 minutes.)
-Cool the cake in the mold on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
-Run a metal spatula or knife between cake and the side of the mold to loosen the cake, then gently invert it into a work surface and remove the pan.
-Turn it over onto the wire rack and cool completely.
-Transfer the cake onto a serving plate.
