Molasses stack cake

10 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ cup Brown sugar
¾ cup Shortening
¾ cup Molasses
3½ cup All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
2 pounds Dried apples
1 teaspoon Ground cloves
1 teaspoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
¾ cup Buttermilk
2 teaspoons Baking soda
2 cups Sugar

Directions

FILLING

Cream together sugar and shortening. Add eggs and beat well. Stir in molasses. Sift flour spices. Mix buttermilk with baking soda (begin with ¾ cup buttermilk. You may not need to use all of this amount in the mixing process to get the dough to the right consistency). Add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately to creamed mixture until the batter is of a cookie dough consistency. Pat a thin layer of batter into a greased, warm skillet (about the thickness of a pizza crust). Bake in a 375 degree oven fo 10 to 15 minutes or until done. Repeat for other layers. Meanwhile add just enough water to the dried apples to cook them so they won't scorch. Sweeten with sugar and set mixture aside. While still warm, make cake by stacking the layers with cooked apple filling. (As you each layer, add the filling and keep stacking the layers. Make sure to save enough filling for the top of the cake).
