Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Whiskey Cream Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup Irish whiskey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chopped apples.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the whiskey cream sauce. In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream, sugar, Irish whiskey, and butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature with the whiskey cream sauce drizzled over the top.
