APPLE STACK CAKE 
1 c. sugar
1 c. molasses
1 c. butter
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 c. buttermilk
6 c. flour

Beat together butter, sugar and molasses. Sift 2 cups flour with other dry ingredients and add alternately to the first mixture with the buttermilk, adding enough of the flour mixture to make a soft dough.

Roll out on a lightly floured board to a 9-inch round; trim edges. Sprinkle sugar on top.

Bake on cookie sheet for 5-8 minutes at 350°F.

Makes 8 layers.

Fill with spiced, sweetened, cooked and mashed apples. Dried apples are best, but fresh apples simmered in a simple syrup (1 cup sugar plus 1 cup water) or canned apples canned by used. Cut rounds of wax or parchment paper to bake cake on, to make the layers easier to move around.
