Foodie Friday | Recipe: Springtime Irish Apple Cake

Hello!

Lovelies

Aww, Spring it's finally here! The fresh spring air is filling with blooming flowers, the grasses are turning green and the birds are singing.

This is a beautiful time of year. Saint Patrick's Day is the first time I made this recipe. And it's wonderful. Now I myself am not Irish so I'm not really sure what or why this apple cake is Irish but I seen it floating around on Pinterest so I thought I'd give it a go and see what happens. I ended up making it twice in one week it was so good.

I think this is the perfect Springtime recipes. This would be great for a Sunday brunch and just perfect for Easter Sunday. Which I just might make it for again.

2 Eggs

3/4 Cups Milk

6 oz. Butter, (Melted or room temp)

3/4 Cups Sugar

2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1/8 Teaspoon Salt

1/4 Teaspoons Cloves, ground

1/4 Teaspoons Nutmeg, ground

3 Cups Flour

4  Granny Smith apples

 375 degrees. 45-50 minutes

In a large mixer and or mixing bowl add eggs, milk, and butter. Combine then add sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, & clove. Once all combined slowly add in the flour. If you are mixing by hand I recommend using your hands to add the apples. The batter is very thick and sticky. Don't freak out, that's how it should look. If you are using a stand mixer just mix them on slow. Once done grease a pan. I recommend using a medium to small deep pan. You want the cake to be rather thick not thin. After you've placed your batter in your cake pan sprinkle a small amount of sugar on top. Then place in the over at 375 °F for 45-50 minutes.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family did. If you make it i'd love to hear how it turns out.

~Love
