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
Steps:
- Make filling:
- In a large bowl combine apples and water and chill, covered, overnight.
- Transfer apples and water to a large heavy saucepan (at least 5 quarts) and add sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring, and cook at a low simmer, stirring frequently, until softened, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir in vanilla and cool completely. In a food processor pulse apple mixture in batches until chopped coarse, transferring to a large bowl. Filling may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Make cake layers:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl stir together buttermilk, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside. Into a large bowl sift together 4 cups flour and salt.
- In another large bowl with an electric mixer beat shortening with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in vanilla. Add buttermilk mixture and beat until combined well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until combined well. Add enough of remaining 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup at a time, to form a soft but not sticky dough.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 pieces. Working on a lightly floured sheet of wax paper shape each piece into a disk and roll each disk into a 9-inch round. Arrange rounds on wax paper and gently prick dough all over with a fork. Bake layers one at a time on wax paper on a baking sheet in middle of oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool layers completely on racks and carefully remove wax paper.
- Assemble cake:
- Spread 1 cup filling on one cake layer and top with another cake layer. Continue layering filling and cake layers in same manner, ending with a cake layer. (Reserve any remaining filling for another use.) Chill cake, covered, overnight and bring to room temperature before serving. Dust top of cake with confectioners' sugar and serve with whipped cream.
TENNESSEE STACK CAKE
Recipe by Andrea Hall Puyallup, Wash. The article reads ... This eight-layer cake, an Appalachian specialty, is known by various names, including apple stack cake, pioneer stack cake, and washday stack cake. The last name refers to how the cookie-like layers were often baked on washday and then layered with apple butter and left to sit for a day or two before being served. As the cake sits, the cookie-like layers soak up moisture from the apple butter and soften, becoming tender and cake-like in the process.

Steps:
- For the filling:
- Bring the apples and water to cover to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until the apples are completely softened, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the apples and let cool until just warm, about 15 minutes.
- Puree the apples in a food processor until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. (The filling can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.).
- For the layers:
- Adjust two oven racks to the upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla in a large measuring cup.
- With an electric mixer at medium-high speed, beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
- Add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately in two batches, beating after each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed until combined. (The dough will be thick.).
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
- Working with 2 portions at a time, on a lightly floured surface, roll each out into a 10-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Using a 9-inch cake pan as a template, trim away the excess dough to form 2 perfectly round 9-inch disks.
- Transfer the disks to the prepared baking sheets and bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating and switching the baking sheets halfway through the baking time.
- Transfer the disks to a rack and cool completely, at least 1 hour.
- Repeat with the remaining dough. (The layers can be wrapped tightly in plastic and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.).
- To assemble the cake:
- Place one layer on a serving plate and spread with 1 cup filling.
- Repeat 6 times.
- Top with the final layer, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until the layers soften, at least 24 hours or up to 2 days.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve. (The fully assembled cake can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.).
- Be sure to let the cake sit at least 24 hours, as the moisture from the filling transforms the texture of the cookie-like layers into a tender apple-flavored cake.

OLD-FASHIONED STACK CAKE WITH APPALACHIAN APPLE BUTTER FILLING
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...

Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar.
BLUEBERRY STACK CAKE
This is a recipe I got from a friend's grandmother; everyone who has ever tried it has wanted the recipe. They're also usually surprised at how easy it is to make; they think it takes alot more work than it does. If you don't like blueberries, you can try other types of fruit; one of the ladies at work told me she tried it with raspberries and it was just as good.
