How to Make Apple Streusel Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9 or 10-inch bundt pan.
2. **Make the Streusel Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup sliced almonds, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3. Stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter until crumbly.
4. Set aside.
5. **Make the Cake Batter:** In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
6. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
7. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
8. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
9. Reduce mixer speed to low. Alternately add the dry ingredients and 1/2 cup orange juice to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
10. Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
11. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.
12. Spoon the remaining batter over the streusel, and top with the remaining streusel.
13. Bake for 15 minutes.
14. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Add remaining streusel (optional).
15. Bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
16. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
17. Once completely cool, glaze with your favorite icing (recipe not included).
