IRISH APPLE CAKE


Irish Apple Cake, serves 8
From The Complete Irish Pub Cookbook

Cake Ingredients
3 large cooking apples, such as Granny Smith
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup superfine sugar (or same amount of granulated sugar processed
 in a food processor for 1 minute)
2 eggs
1-2 tablespoons milk
confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Streusel Topping Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp Cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup superfine sugar

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9- inch round springform pan with cooking spray.
To make the streusel topping, sift flour into a bowl and cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles crumbs. Stir in sugar and reserve.
Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. To make the cake, sift the flour into a bowl with the baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Place the butter and superfine sugar in a separate bowl and beat together until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs, adding a little flour mixture with the last addition of egg. Gently fold in half of the remaining flour mixture, then fold in the rest with the milk.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. (Batter will be thick). Cover with the sliced apples and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top. Bake for 1 hour or until browned and firm to the touch. Let cool in pan before removing the sides. Dust cake with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Best served warm from the oven or reheated!
