Gramma Ruth's Kentucky Stack Cake

Description:
This is an old family cake we still love.
Kentucky Stack Cake was used as a wedding cake.
Invited wedding guests each brought a thin layer of cake as a gift to the bride. Applesause made from fresh or dried apples was used as filling when the cake was assembled for eating.
The more stacks the better thought of the bride and her family by their family and neighbors.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1 teaspoon soda
3 eggs
1 cup milk
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
Filling: Homemade Applesauce.

Directions:
Cream butter and sugar together, add molasses.
Add eggs-beat well.
Add milk-alternating with sifted dry ingredients.
Pour mixture about 1/2 inch deep into 6 greased layer pans.
Bake at 375 in pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes.
Let cool-when cool add your applesauce between layers.
We always let our Stack Cake sit over night after adding the filling-it just tasted better!

Number Of Servings:6-12-very filling!
