Ingredients
3 cups cake flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 stick 1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3-4 Granny Smith apples
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar for topping
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray 8 or 9″ round baking pan with cooking spray (I like Bakers Joy for cakes).
- Sift flour, baking powder, salt, cloves, nutmeg & cinnamon in large bowl.
- Using pastry cutter- cut butter into dry mixture until it resembles fine bread crumbs.
- Add sugar & mix through.
- Peel & slice apples into thin wedges & toss in flour mixture – coating apples.
- In a separate small bowl – beat eggs & milk – add to apple mixture.
- Toss & stir well to fully moisten flour. Should result in a very sticky dough.
- Transfer to prepared pan.
- Flatten top of surface & sprinkle with remaining sugar.
- Bake 45-55 minutes or until toothpick test is clean.
- Cool on wire rack.
