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.
