Lilred's Recipes #3: Sweet Stuff

[Lilred]

Heres a recipe for what my Pa calls stack cake..it's perty simple to make and it's real good..one of my faves.

4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons bakin powder
3 lbs (er you can do like I do and use a big bowl full) dried apples.
(You can git these in 1 lb bags at the wal mart)

**This is best in a cast iron pan or sheet w/ a light coat of butter.

Mix the flour, bakin powder & salt in a bowl. In another small bowl mix yer milk, eggs and vanilla together evenly.
Add the milk/vanilla mix to the flour mix until you git a good firm dough that you can roll out. Cut your bottom and top layer of dough and bake in oven...or in your pan on top of the stove until they are golden brown on both sides.
(You usually git enough for 2 cakes out of this recipe, or 4 halves.)

In a pot, boil the apples in water and add the sugar until they are soft and the mix is thick like syrup. Spread the apple mix on 1 of the halves and add your top layer. Eat hot or cold.

This cake is good the first day, and even better 3-4 days from the day you bake it.
