A traditional Irish dessert with apples baked in a buttery cake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups peeled and diced apples (about 3 medium apples)
  • 1 tablespoon demerara sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the egg, milk, and vanilla together.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the diced apples gently.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle demerara sugar on top.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use any tart apple variety like Granny Smith or Bramley.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with custard or whipped cream.
