Notes: Stack cake was a traditional pioneer wedding cake, put together right at the wedding celebration. Each guest brought a layer of cake. Applesauce, made from either fresh or dried apples (depending on the time of year), was spread on each cake layer and the layers were stacked. The brides' popularity could be measured by the number of stacks she had and by the number of layers in each stack.
Since guests were apt to bring different types of cake, the stacks were often varied colors and flavors. This recipe is for six layers of simple molasses cake, typical of pioneer times.
