CAKE: Cream sugar and shortening. Add molasses, buttermilk and egg. Sift dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.

Divide into 5 portions. Roll out each portion as pastry. Cut to fit a 9-inch cake pan. Bake each layer separately at 350º for 10 to 12 minutes. When cool, stack layers with the cooked filling.

FILLING: Cook apples, sugar and water until apples are tender and the mixture is slightly thick. When almost done, add cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Cool. Spread between layers of cake and stack. It is important to let this cake sit in refrigerator 3 to 4 days before cutting. It may be frozen.
