Ingredients
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
5 teaspoons cornstarch
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, diced, room temperature
4 medium Gala or Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (packed) golden brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk

Powdered sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides. Sift first 5 ingredients into large bowl. Rub in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in apples and brown sugar. Whisk eggs and milk together; stir into apple mixture (batter will be thick). Transfer to pan. Sprinkle with sugar.
Step 2
Bake cake until golden and springy to touch, about 35 minutes. Cool slightly on rack. Cut around cake to loosen; remove pan sides. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Wrap tightly; store at room temperature.) Place doily atop cake. Sprinkle powdered sugar over; remove doily.
