- Kentucky Stack Cake
Apple Filling:
2 lbs dried apples
1-2 heaping teaspoons cinnamon or apple pie spice (to taste)
1 cup sugar or sweetener of choice (Add an additional 1/2 cup dark brown sugar for a sweeter/darker filling)
4-6 cups water (You may need more. Add more as you go as needed)
Cake Layers:
1/2 c veg shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup sorghum
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups AP flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground Ginger
For the filling:
Place apples in a heavy kettle and add 4 cups water to start. On a med heat brig to a simmer. Reduce heat to med/low, cover and let cook for about 10 minutes covered. Uncover and stir. Add more water if needed. Some types apples will absorb all the water. Cover and cook for 10 minutes and repeat this until apples are tender and start to fall apart. I mash mine with a potato masher. You want the apples thick but not dry. Add the sugar and spices. stir and remove from heat. Set aside while you make the layers.
Layers:
Pre Heat oven to 350 degrees.
To the flour, add soda, ginger and salt. Mix together set aside. In a mixer, cream shortening and sugar for about 2-5 minutes. Add egg, sorghum & vanilla extract. Mix well. Turn you mixer on low and add in the flour a little at a time as you drizzle in the butter milk. Once the dough is full incoorperated turn it out onto a floured surface and form the dough into about a 10 inch log. Cut into 7 pieces. roll each piece into a round ball. Spray a 9 inch round pan with some baking spray (with flour) and press dough into the bottom of the pan evenly. Bake layers for about 10-15 minutes till lightly brown. (I bake 4 pans at a time as I have multiple 9 inch pans) let the layer cool then turn them out on a wire rack to cool. Once cool start assembling the cake. I like to use warm apple filling as it ensures the cake won't be dry. Add about 1 cup apple filling between layers ad repeat till you're out of layers. You can add apples on top or leave it off and dust with powdered sugar right before serving. Cover the cake and let it sit for 24 hours to give it time to absorb all the goodness. refrigeration is optional but my aunt Lucy kept hers out on the table for 3-4 days until it was gone. enjoy!

Yummy❤
I will have to try your stack cake recipe. All your recipes I have done turn out perfect.
My mother made this every Christmas ❤!!!!!!!!!
You are a good cook but best of all a best Christian singer. I watch you on Tommy Bates
@@billiemcneely5528 aww thank you
Looks delicious!
I've made this, but I used apple butter because that was what my dad told me my grandmother used. She also did things with dried apples. Anyway, it's good no matter how you make it!
@jessicathestar I love that she does sift the flour and uses a paper bowl to hold the eggs! Love that you pray before bites! Excellent!
Hey Missy, Kenzie and Roger! Thanks for showing us how you make your delicious apple cake. My Mom made apple cakes especially for my Dad. Your apple stack cake looks delicious. Thanks for sharing with us. Blessings ❤❤
The best cake ever from Manchester ky my grandma did one every Christmas and Thanksgiving we. Moved to indiana when I was ten but allways went back to ky during holiday s love ky
Loved this Recipe ! Very different but looks Wonderful! I found you from a suggestion by Rhonda!
My mother, grandmother and several of their family members made this cake for church dinners. They were always all eaten up! They were from Carter County, KY. I have seen other recipes that used a biscuit dough and apple butter for the filling but my family always used the "molasses cookie" recipe for the cake and cooked dried apples for the filling just like you did. The only difference is that they rolled out the dough and cut it to fit the skillet they baked it in. Thanks for sharing. What a precious memory!
Molasses is a product of sugar cane. Sorghum is a product of the Sorghum plant. A plant grown for cattle fodder and also varieties for the canes that can be milled for the sweet juice that is boiled down for sorghum syrup. Nothing to do with sugar cane. Good sorghum syrup has a strong flavor. I remember my grandfather would say something was as slow as Sorghum in January. Meaning it was so thick that in a cold winter house, you could hardly pour it on your biscuits. My Brothers Mother-in-Law who was from Woodbine, Ky would talk about the old timey stack cakes. A woman would make a cake layer in a a big skillet, kinda a sweet egg biscuit dough to add to the stack cake. Add the dried apple filling and hold it for a few days until all that sweetness had moistened and softened the cake. (a little brandy or Bourbon "red whisky" would have been extra good,) Never had one, still waiting on an old KY black walnut cake for my birthday with boiled brown sugar icing.
When I was little I always ask my mom to make this cake for me for my birthday! Love them!
aww 🥰
My mom and her sister made these and I loved these. They were from way back in the Appalachian mts. They told the same story about the cake. I loved their stories.
I have that same tater masher. 😊
Hi Missy, I never had Stack Cake! I’m going to write this down ! I will be trying this cake an I love apples ! God Bless you All Jan Sarlo
I'm 65. My mom always made me one for my birthday
Thanks for this recipe. My cousin Carrie brought this to one of our Reunions (in Millstone) many years ago and she was going to bring me the recipe to the next reunion. Unfortunately she passed away at the age of 90 a few months after that reunion and I thought I would never have the recipe or even know how to put together ect. It was so delicious. Can't wait to make this.
Yum, Missy!
It’s the same thing lol😊
Just subscribed. I didn’t realize that you all had a channel.
Sorghum is processed longer than black molasses. It's why Sorghum has a little stronger taste.
What if you can’t get dried apples? Anything’s else to subject ❤
This is a great recipe- I'm from Johnson County KY living in TX, glad I found your channel...we have had our share of apple stack cakes over the years! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I have that same tater masher. Best one ever.
I love dried apple stack cake.
So kind of like a fruit cake in that it saves fruit. Love to hear the Kentucky stories!
Sorghum is made from sorghum cane/molasses is made from sugar cane. Love this cake
Good job Missy. Great channel. Me and Joyce both subscribed.
I still use a potato masher just like that one.
I’ve been wondering who that good looking man is with the beard
I make my stack cake exactly the same way except I do us iron skillet like my mommy did thanks for the tip of the sheet pan
