AP CAKE



AP Cake image

AP Cake is a Pennsylvania Dutch breakfast delicacy. One of the stories on its origins is that a baker, Ann Page, used to "carve" her initials on top of the heavy batter before baking. This recipe appeared in the East Penn Valley Merchandiser several weeks ago and tastes like the cakes you buy at the bakery.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 c sugar
3 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 c buttermilk or sour milk, room temperature
2 tsp baking soda
3/4 c melted shortening

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 4 6-inch pie or 7-inch cake pans.
  • 2. Combine sugar flour and salt. Mix baking soda in buttermilk. Stir into the dry ingredients.
  • 3. Gradually add the melted shortening, beating well. Batter will be moist but very stiff.
  • 4. Divide evenly and press into prepared pans. (Batter should not stick to your hands; add a little flour if it does.)
  • 5. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Cool on racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.

Tips:

  • Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. This is important for all baking recipes, but especially for cakes. Even a small difference in the amount of an ingredient can affect the outcome of the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Preheat your oven before you start baking. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Bake the cake in the center of the oven. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you frost it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Baking a Spanish cake is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and beautiful cake that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this Spanish cake recipe a try.
