Irish Apple Cake

Miz Helen's Kitchen

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

8 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

3/4 cup sugar

4 apples, I used 1 Granny Smith, 1 Red Delicious, 2 Gala's

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoon sugar, for cake topping

Directions

Sift into a very large mixing bowl, the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.

Cube the butter into small cubes, then cut it into the flour mixture until the mixture is like fine crumbs.

Add the sugar to the mix.

Peel the apples and chop into very small bite size pieces.

Toss the apples bites with the flour mixture, make sure that everything is blended well.

In a mixing pitcher, beat the eggs and add the milk and vanilla.

Pour the egg and milk mixture into the apples and flour mixture, mix until blended well. Batter will be very thick.

Butter and flour a 8 inch spring form pan.

Spoon the batter into the pan and pat the top down.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar on top of the cake.

Bake at 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center test done. The cake will be very brown on the sides.

Let cool completely before slicing.

Garnish with whipped cream for serving.

Enjoy!
