My mom loved to bake this sky-high apple stack cake. Layer the apple goodness two days before serving. Later, a dusting of confectioners' sugar is the only topping you'll need. -LeVa Clement, Jackson, Missouri

AS a child I always called my grandma Mom. She made Apple Stack Cakes, they were a tradition in Applachian states,back in the old days they were brought to weddings. It brings back such sweet memories. I had to use someone else's photo for this recipe.

Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 c criscoe shortening
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c molasses
1/2 c buttermilk
2 eggs
31/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
powdered sugar
1 lb granny smith apples

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray six 9-inch cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line bottoms of pans with parchment paper, and spray parchment paper with cooking spray. 2. Using an electric mixer, beat shortening and sugar until creamy. Add buttermilk, molasses, egg and vanilla, beating well. 3. Combine flour, ginger, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add shortening mixture, stirring just until combined.
  • 2. Stir well, and roll out dough as you would for a piecrust. Cut to fit 9-inch pan or cast-iron skillet (this amount of dough will make 7 layers). Bake layers for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. When cool, stack layers with spiced, sweetened old-fashioned dried apples. (See recipe below.) Spread between layers and smooth around sides and top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Prepare cake at least a day before serving it and put in refrigerator (it will keep several days, if necessary, in a cool place). To serve, slice into very thin layers.
  • 3. Put 1 pound apples in heavy pan and cover with cold water. You may need to add water several times to keep apples from sticking to pan. Cook until soft enough to mash. While still hot, mash apples and add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon cloves, and 1 teaspoon allspice.
  • 4. Dust with powdered sugar.

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup sorghum molasses
1 egg, beaten
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Cream shortening with molasses in very large bowl, then add in one beaten egg.
  • Mix all dry ingredients adding milk in as you mix. Add Vanilla. Beat to a stiff dough.
  • Flour your counter and lightly flour your rolling pin. Roll out to thickness of pie dough. (VERY THIN) This dough will make 9-10 layers.
  • Cut out your circles with a scalloped pie pan. Place rounds of dough on a cookie sheet (I line it with wax paper) 2 at a time. And bake 12 minutes at 350°F.
  • After all rounds are baked, put layers together with a homemade or sweet flavored applesauce.
  • Let set before serving. Great also warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • My time chart is if you also made your own applesauce (peeling coring etc.).

OLD-FASHIONED STACK CAKE WITH APPALACHIAN APPLE BUTTER FILLING



Old-Fashioned Stack Cake with Appalachian Apple Butter Filling image

I found this old-fashion stack cake recipe in my local newspaper. I immediately thought of our stack cake queen, Bea Liles. I haven't made this yet but I hope someone will and give it a review. Altho this recipe calls for dried apples, I see no reason why you couldn't use fresh, and your own recipe for apple butter. Enjoy! This...

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn for better texture and flavor.
  • Prepare Apples Evenly: Ensure apple slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking and presentation.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: It not only adds a bit of tang but also prevents apple slices from browning.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
  • Preheat the Oven: Always preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a Springform Pan: It makes it easier to remove the cake from the pan without breaking it.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Inserted Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to check if the cake is done baking.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before assembling the stack cake, allow each layer to cool completely to prevent crumbling.
  • Use a Piping Bag or Spatula to Spread Filling: This helps to evenly distribute the filling between the cake layers.
  • Chill the Cake Before Serving: Chilling the cake helps it set and makes it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mom's Apple Stack Cake is truly a delightful dessert that combines the flavors of sweet apples, tender cake, and creamy filling. Its unique stacked design and homemade taste make it a special treat for any occasion. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you'll be able to recreate this classic recipe and impress your friends and family with a delicious and memorable dessert.
