🇮🇪 Ireland recipe
Apple Cake
Irish apple cake is a humble masterpiece found in farmhouse kitchens across the country, made with whatever cooking apples are in season. Unlike fussy French patisserie, it is a straightforward, unpretentious cake that celebrates the apple in all its tart, fragrant glory. Thick slices of Bramley apple are folded into a simple butter cake batter scented with cinnamon and cloves, then baked until the top is golden and cracked and the apples within are soft and jammy. Served warm with a pour of fresh cream, it is autumn on a plate.
