\n125ml butter, softened; 125ml brown sugar; 60ml white sugar; 1 egg; 60ml vegetable oil; 2,5ml vanilla; 375ml flour; 2,5ml bicarbonate of soda; 2,5ml baking powder; 1,25ml salt; 5ml cinnamon; 375ml finely chopped apples.<\/p>\n
\n230g cream cheese; 5ml vanilla; 45ml white sugar.<\/p>\n
\n180ml white sugar; 60ml brown sugar; 125ml flour; 5ml cinnamon; 2,5ml baking powder; 0,5ml salt; 90ml cold butter.<\/p>\n
\nPreheat oven to 180 \u00b0C\/ 350 \u00b0F and grease a 20 x 20cm square pan.
\nCombine the butter and sugars for the cake and mix until fluffy. Add the egg, oil and vanilla, and mix until combined.
\nSift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and stir into the butter mixture until combined. Stir in the apples and spread into the square pan.
\nFor the cream cheese layer, mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla and spread over the cake batter in the pan.
\nCombine all the streusel ingredients using your hands or a pastry blender until well combined. Sprinkle over the cream cheese mixture.

\n10 egg yolks; 250g sugar; 1 litre fresh cream; 1 shot Amarula.<\/p>\n
\nHeat the cream in a medium saucepan just until bubbles form around the edge.
\nIn the meantime, whisk the egg yolks, Amarula and sugar by hand until pale in colour. Very gradually, lightly whisk in the hot cream. Skim off any surface bubbles.
\nStrain into small heatproof dishes, wider than they are deep. Place in a roasting pan or baking dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dishes.
\nBake at 160\u00b0C for 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool, then chill well.
\nBefore serving, sift about a tablespoon of castor sugar over each custard. Place in a roasting pan filled with ice, then slide under a hot grill until the sugar melts and caramelises. Alternatively, use a blowtorch to melt and brown the sugar.<\/p>\n
