This Irish Apple Cake Recipe embodies traditional Irish fare...it's plain, easy-to-make, delicious, comfort food. This quick apple cake can also be made, for example, in a large, heart, shamrock, or any-shaped baking dish. That way, you can break out the moist, Irish apple cake recipe any holiday time of the year, and it would "kick it up a notch" to frost and decorate each according to the specific occasion.
Because I want you to have the best apple recipes from which to choose, when I saw this Irish Apple Cake Recipe at the LittleShamrocks.com website, I knew it would enhance your web-site experience. A special thank you to Tyna, from Little Shamrocks.com who very graciously allowed me to make available any of her apple recipes to our visitors, too.
I made this recipe for apple cake in its simplest form...just the moist apple cake topped with whipped topping; my taste-testers just loved it. Another suggestion might be to top the cake with vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel topping. Endless possibilities, aren't there?
