Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg.
Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the 3/4 cup of sugar.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples. Then, gently fold the apple slices into the flour and butter mixture.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk. Then, pour this mixture into the flour and apple mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Irish Apple Cake warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
