How to make Tennessee Mountain Stack Cake, from United Cakes of America

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon Salt
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
8-12 cups Dried apples
1 teaspoon Baking powder
4 cups Superfine granulated sugar, for cream
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
2 teaspoons Cinnamon, for cream
1 1/2 sticks Unsalted butter, for cream
2 teaspoons Nutmeg, for cream
1 1/4 cups Superfine granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Molasses, for cream
3/4 cup Molasses
3 cups Water, for cream
2 Eggs
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the rack in the middle position.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until wet and grainy.
  • Add the molasses. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a flexible spatula to get all of the molasses into the mixture.
  • Add the eggs one at a time. Scrape all the way to the bottom of the bowl and mix on low speed.
  • Alternately add the buttermilk and the dry mixture about a quarter at a time. Stop the mixer to scrape the bowl and turn it on again on low speed for about 10 seconds. The mixture should be stiff like a soft cookie dough.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 6 or 8 equal portions and place each one on a round piece of parchment paper a little larger than a 9-inch cake pan. Roll out the dough to the size of the parchment. Place the cake pan over the disk and trim away the excess around the edge.
  • Leaving the parchment paper underneath, lift the disks onto baking sheets and bake them for approximately 10 minutes, or until the top surface appears dry and a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Slide the disks off the baking sheet onto a flat surface to cool.
