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...

CAKE INGREDIENTS
1/2 c vegetable shortening
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c buttermilk
1/3 c molasses
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of nutmeg
powdered sugar for dusting
APPALACHIAN APPLE BUTTER FILLING
4 c roughly chopped dried apples
3/4 c dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
6 c apple cider (not juice)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 6 (9-inch) cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line bottoms of pans with parchment paper, and spray parchment paper with cooking spray.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, beat shortening and sugar at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Add buttermilk, molasses, egg and vanilla, beating well. In a large bowl, combine flour, ginger, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Add shortening mixture, stirring just until combined.
  • 3. On a lightly floured surface, form dough into a log; cut into six equal portions. Place one portion in each prepared pan, and use fingers to lightly pat dough to edges of pans. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks. Cake will have the consistency of a gingerbread cookie.
  • 4. Cook time: Depends on how big you want your stack. This recipe makes one 9-inch cake with six stacks. Three stacks were baked simultaneously for 10 to 12 minutes The filling (recipe below) takes about an hour. Allow 24 hours for the cake to chill in the refrigerator.
  • 5. Make filling: In large saucepan, combine dried fruit and all dry ingredients. Add enough liquid to cover. Bring to a low boil and cook, stirring often, for 45 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes or until cooled slightly. Transfer to the work bowl of a food processor or container of a blender; process until smooth. Use while still warm.
  • 6. To put cake together, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand; spread with about 3/4 cup warm fruit butter filling. Repeat procedure with remaining layers and fruit butter filling, stacking each on previous layer. Do not spread fruit butter filling on top layer. Cover and refrigerate cake for at least 24 hours. Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar.

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the inside (sides and bottom) of 9” cake pan(s) with the butter. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper. Make sure to also grease the top of the parchment paper.
  • In a separate bowl, using a mixer, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and color has lightened slightly. Add the eggs and beat until combined. Add in the moonshine and vanilla. Slowly add in the flour mixture making sure not to add too much at once. Mix until just combined. Carefully fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Measure out 1 cup of cake batter per cake pan. Tap each pan to distribute batter evenly and reduce the amount of air pockets in the batter.
  • For the Apple rosette top you will need to reserve one pan of batter to top with apple slices. Lay a circular row of apples along the outside edge of the cake pan. Work your way in overlapping the circle each time until you get to the center. For the middle of the Rose microwave an apple slice at 50% power for 15 second to soften it. Roll the apple slice into a pinwheel and place in the center of your apple slices.
