My Old-Fashioned Stack Cake 🍎🧈🍰
Ingredients:
Wet Ingredients
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1½ cups buttermilk (shake before using)
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup molasses
Dry Ingredients
• 3 cups self-rising flour (Martha White recommended)
• 3 tablespoons ground ginger
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
For Assembling
• Apple butter (enough to spread between layers and on top)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch round cake pans and lightly dust with flour.
2. In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs. Add buttermilk, oil, and molasses; stir well.
3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, ginger, and cinnamon.
4. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring until smooth.
5. Pour ¾ cup batter into each pan, spreading evenly for thin layers.
6. Bake about 12 minutes, until set. Cool slightly and remove from pans.
7. Repeat until all batter is used (about 9 layers).
8. To assemble, spread apple butter on a plate, add a cake layer, then spread apple butter on top.
9. Repeat with all layers.
10. Spread apple butter on top and around sides of cake.
11. Let cake rest before slicing so the apple butter soaks into the layers.
