Ultimate Irish Apple Cake


Serves 10-12

INGREDIENTS :
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten (room temperature)
  • 4 granny smith apples, cored, peeled and diced (2 cups)
  • 1⁄4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Step One

 Preheat oven to 350°F.
 Generously grease an 8-inch square cake pan.

Step Two

 In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, apples, nuts, and vanilla and stir well.
Sift in the dry ingredients and mix well.( read hint)

Step Four

 Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake about 45 minutes, until the cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step Five

 Remove from oven and let the cake set in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Poftă Bună !!!



Hint: I actually mixed the butter mixture with eggs, afterwards the dry flour mixture. Then added the apples and nuts.
 Not sure if this was  a mistake from them, but it didn't sound right to me so I change it 😊
