Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Apple Filling:
- 16 ounces dried apples
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Preparation:
Cake: Cream the granulated sugar and butter together. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Measure flour, sift with other baking powder and soda; add to batter, alternating with buttermilk and vanilla. Divide dough into six or eight parts. Use a well-floured board to roll into rounds, if baking on cookie sheets, or pat into well-greased 9-inch pans. Bake at 400° until browned.
Filling: Cook apples just enough water to cover, until soft; mash thoroughly. Stir in sugar and spices. Cool before spreading between layers.
