"A traditional Irish "cake", which is actually more of an apple bread. Serve with afternoon tea. NOTE: This calls for cake flour, but if you use all-purpose flour, increase butter to 6 ounces. Easy apple cake to make from scratch."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375F. Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan by coating with cooking spray or coating with butter.
Step 2
Sift the cake flour, baking powder, salt, cloves and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Cut the butter into the flour and rub it in using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
Step 4
Mix in sugar.
Step 5
Peel, core and dice the apples. Toss the pieces with the flour mixture.
Step 6
Beat the eggs and add a dash of milk. Add to the apples and flour and combine well with a large spoon.
Step 7
Add more milk as needed to fully moisten the flour. The dough will be sticky.
Step 8
Transfer the dough into the prepared cake pan and flatten the top surface using the back of a large spoon.
Step 9
Sprinkle two tablespoons of sugar over the top of the cake.
Step 10
Bake 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake. The top will be a golden brown.
Step 11
Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire wrack to finish cooling.
Step 12
Serve slightly warm.
