Irish Apple Cake
Made with tart, crisp Granny Smith apples mixed into a simple batter to produce a moist, traditional Irish Apple Cake. There is no addition of spices or flavorings, so the true flavors of each ingredient can be tasted and appreciated.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 oz all purpose flour
- 8 oz cold butter
- 6 oz sugar
- 6 oz milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 24 oz Granny Smith apples 3-4 apples
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a butter wrapper and butter, grease the bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform or loose bottom cake pan. Add about ½ tsp flour to the cake pan and dust it all around to thinly coat the cake pan.
- To make the cake part, mix the sugar, flour and baking powder together. Cut the butter into cubes and add to the bowl. Mix on a slow speed.
- While the cake part is mixing, peel, core and dice the apples. Dice each apple, one at a time and add it to the cake mixture. This will reduce apple browning. Do this with all the apples.
- Add eggs, one at a time and mix. Pour in the milk and mix. Empty the cake batter into the cake pan.
- Spread the cake batter evenly to form a level cake and place in the oven for 45 minutes to bake.
- Check doneness with a fine toothpick or pin by sticking it into the center. The cake is fully baked if it comes out hot, a little greasy and dry. If it comes out with cake batter on it, then return it to the oven for further baking. Check for doneness every 5 minutes.
- Remove the cake pan from the oven and allow the Irish Apple Cake to cool before removing it from the cake pan. Dust with a light sprinkling of sugar.
