Also thought you all might enjoy the following recipe. My Granny use to make one of these every Christmas for our family’s dinner when I was a little girl, my aunt FINALLY gave me the recipe for it cause she is the only one left who can still make it like granny made it and has even changed the fillings of it to any fruit you may like just omit the spices.
Granny’s Old-Fashioned Apple Stack Cake
Ingredients for the cakes:
2 c sugar
1 c shortening (Granny Used Lard)
2 eggs
1 ts baking soda
3 ts baking powder
6 c plain sifted flour
1 ts salt
1/2 c buttermilk
1 ts vanilla
ingredients for the filling:
16 oz can of apple sauce (My granny made her own with Macintosh apples)
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
2 ts ground cinnamon
1/2 ts ground cloves
1/2 ts ground allspice
Directions:
Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
addition. Combine dry ingredients and add alternately to batter with
buttermilk and vanilla; mix. Batter will be stiff enuff to treat like cookie dough, so what I do is make a ball then Divide it into equal portion sized balls. Pat batter into six greased 9-inch pans * Note I find rolling each one out like a pie crust works better for me. (Granny made 8 layer’s and I have made as many as 10). Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Cool.
FILLING: In a Mixing Bowl add all ingredients above; mix. Spread each of the layers except the top one with apple filling. Stack layers. Let cake stand for 12 hours or over night before cutting (Granny made her’s 3 day’s before our dinner and kept it out in the smoke house). Serves 12-14.
Thanks Bunches,
