The Apple Stack Cake is considered a traditional dessert in the Southern United States, dating back to the 1800s. It was often served at special occasions such as weddings and holidays. The cake is made up of layers of spiced cake and sweet, dried apple filling, held together by a blend of spices. The dried apples are preserved by chopping them into small pieces and simmering them in water until they are tender and syrupy. The apple filling can be flavored with a variety of spices, including cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. The resulting cake is moist, sweet, and bursting with flavor.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2.In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Set aside.
3.In a large bowl, cream together the white sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the buttermilk and mix well.
4.In a separate bowl, sift together the baking soda, baking powder, flour, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed mixture in the large bowl, alternately with the water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5.Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6.Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
7.In a large saucepan, simmer the dried apples and water over low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the mixture is thick and syrupy.
8.To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a cake plate. Cover with a third of the apple filling and sprinkle with a third of the reserved spice mixture. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and filling, ending with the spice mixture on top.
