Ingredients:
1 lb. dried apples
1 C. buttermilk
1/2 C. butter
2 eggs
1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
4 t. baking powder
1 C. sugar
4 C. flour
For Cake:
Enough water to cover apples
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/2 t. allspice
2 t. cinnamon
1 C. brown sugar
1 C. sugar
2 t. vanilla
Directions:
Cook apples until they are tender. Mash and add sugar and spices. Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring to make sure sure apples do not scorch.
Cake:
Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until it looks like small peas.
Add the eggs to the buttermilk and stir to combine. Pour into flour mixture and add vanilla. Stir to combine. Mix into a soft dough, about the consistency of cookie dough. If needed add a little more buttermilk.
Grease and flour 9 inch cake pans. Measure 1/2 cup dough into each pan. Dust your hands with flour and pat the dough out to the edges of the pan.
Bake at 450°F. for about 5 minutes or until slightly browned.
While the layers of the cake are still warm, stack the layers adding 2/3 cup of apple filling between each layer.
Cover tightly and allow to stand overnight. |
