Ingredients
Instructions
- Put molasses in a saucepan and warm it on the stove, then stir in the baking soda and remove from heat.
- The molasses will turn yellow as the soda reacts.
- Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl.
- In the molasses mixture, stir in all remaining ingredients except the apples.
- Gradually add enough self-rising flour to make a dough similar to biscuit dough.
- Grease a cake pan and roll out or pat the dough into a thin layer.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) until the surface is light brown, about 25 minutes.
- Once baked and cooled, spread prepared apples between the layers to assemble the cake.
