Recipe: Irish Apple Cake

Cream together 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup room temperature butter until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.

In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.

Add 2 tablespoons of cream to lighten the batter.

Grease and flour a springform pan, then pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly.

Peel and slice 3 granny smith apples thinly, then arrange them on top of the batter.

Make a streusel topping by mixing together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, and some butter and sugar until crumbly.

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apples.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake sit for 5 minutes after baking, then unmold from the springform pan.

Serve with creme anglaise or whipped cream.
