Irish Apple Cake

By: RecipeLion.com Test Kitchen

There's nothing quite like a slice of fluffy, sweet Irish Apple Cake. It's especially amazing when topped with a gooey custard glaze!

We love this recipe for Irish Apple Cake for a few reasons. First of all, even though it's made from scratch, this recipe bakes up with almost no effort. The simple ingredients combine for a cake that tastes like you spent hours on it.

Second, the flavor and texture are out of this world. You might consider baking a second cake just to have all to yourself. It's that good!

Finally, we love how elegant this cake looks when it's served with a generous serving of custard sauce. Pair it with a warm mug of tea or a cup of coffee (maybe an Irish coffee?), and you'll be in your own personal heaven.

In the irish apple cake ingredients it lists 6 Tbl of butter, BUT I do not see it in the instructions. When does it go in

My Irish grandmother made an apple cake when I was a kid, and it was my absolute favorite dessert. This recipe seems like it really does hers justice! And trust me, that's high praise! )
