Old-Fashioned Molasses Stack Cake
Old-Fashioned Molasses Stack Cake is an impressive dinner. Made with 1 c. sugar, 1 1/2 c. shortening, 2 c. molasses, 2 eggs, well beaten and 10 or more c. plain flour, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. Simple to make and full of bold, satisfying flavors.
Cream sugar and shortening.
Add molasses and mix well.
Beat in eggs.
Mix dry ingredients with flour.
Stir water and dry ingredients alternately into molasses-shortening mixture.
Work in flour until you have a stiff dough.
Roll rather thin.
Use a dinner-sized plate to cut out layers or, preferably, cut them with an old-fashioned pie pan with scalloped edges.
This gives a pretty edge.
Bake the dough on a baking sheet or in layer cake pans at 375Β° until fairly brown.
If you want to make 2 cakes, bake four or five layers for each cake.
If you prefer to make one large cake, bake 6 layers.
When cutting the large cake, only cut through 3 layers when serving it.
Warm applesauce slightly and spread between layers of cake.
(The warm sauce will help the cake moisten more quickly.)
Do not put applesauce on top layer.
