Kerry Apple Cake

Ingredients

Step 1	Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan by spraying with oil or coating with butter.
Step 2	Sift the cake flour, baking powder, salt, cloves and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3	Cut the butter into the flour and rub it in using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
Step 4	Toss in the sugar and combine it with the flour mixture.
Step 5	Peel and slice the apples into similar 1″ to 2″ sized pieces.
Step 6	Add the apples into the flour mixture and mix them thoroughly.
Step 7	Beat the eggs and add a dash of milk. Add to the apples and flour and combine well with a large spoon. Add more milk as needed to fully moisten the flour. The result is a pretty sticky mixture.
Step 8	Transfer the dough into the prepared cake pan and flatten the top surface using the back of a large spoon.
Step 9	Sprinkle two tablespoons of sugar over the top of the cake.
Step 10	Bake the cake in the preheated 375 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire wrack to finish cooling.
