2 cups Sugar
2 Eggs
½ cup Milk
2 cups Flour
4 teaspoons Baking powder
½ teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cans Applesauce

Directions

Cream shortening, add sugar and cream again. Add the eggs and beat well.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and nutmeg then add alternately with milk to the first mixture. Add vanilla and stir in. Knead in more flour to make a stiff dough then separate into 12 equal portions. Roll each one out to ¼ inch thick and pat into cake pans. Bake at 450 degrees until lightly brown then set the layers aside to cool. Use a quart or 2 cans of applesauce and mix in ½ teaspoon each of allspice and cinnamon. Stir well then spread between layers.
