This recipe is my Mammaw’s as described by my cousin Ethel Tackett to the
Alleghany Freewill Baptist Auxiliary in Alleghany, Kentucky. It is a little
different than I originally remembered but as I read the recipe the flavors
all came back to me. Hope you enjoy!
Cream together sugar, molasses and Crisco. Add Eggs and mix well. Add
bittermilk and mix. Add soda and ginger to flour; by hand, blend flour into
creamed mixture. Pour 1/2 cup of mixture into greased pans. Bake at 400
until until done. Makes 6 – 8 layers, if using 8-inch pans. Cook apples,
sugar and spices together. Stack cake together using apples between each
layer.
NOTE: I remember Mammaw using dried apples rather than fresh. Obviously my
cousin has updated this a touch.
