1 c. molasses
3 eggs
1/2 c. lard
3/4 tsp. cloves
3/4 tsp. ginger
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. buttermilk
3/4 tsp. allspice
3/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 tsp. baking soda

Mix all together and add enough plain flour to make a stiff dough. Divide in twelve equal parts and knead each part with self-rising flour. Pat out in a ruffled edge pie pan in a thin layer.

Bake until brown. When layers cool, put dried apples mixed with applesauce that has been sweetened and your favorite spice added.

Makes two 6 layered cakes.
