πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

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.
