In this blog, I will share with you an apple stack cake recipe that is extremely delicious.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces dried apples (chopped)
- 5 cups water
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons apple pie spice
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Confectioners' sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a 6-quart pot with apples and water. Bring to a boil. Slowly simmer, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes or until the apples are soft. Make a chunky sauce by mashing.
- Stir in brown sugar and pie spice; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and sauce thickens. Allow to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and baking soda in another bowl; alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
- Make 8 disks from the dough by dividing it into 8 portions. Cut out eight 9-inch squares. A circle of parchment. Roll out each dough disk with a floured rolling pin.
- Place on baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire racks after removing from pans.
- Place one layer on a serving plate; spread with 2/3 cup filling. Continue layering. Place the remaining cake layer on top; wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1-2 days. Sprinkle confectioner's sugar on cake if desired. Enjoy!
