Recipe Introduction
This takes a little time to prepare, but is well worth it. It is best made at least the day before so the applesauce has time to soak into the cake. Refrigerate after that since the moist cake will mold quickly.

Cream shortening; gradually add sugar and molasses, beating until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, soda, salt, and ginger; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix after each addition. Pour batter evenly into 6 greased and floured 9-inch round cakepans. Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove layers from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks. Spread about ½ cup applesauce between each layer, and stack layers. Spoon remaining applesauce on top of cake. Sprinkle top of cake with cinnamon. Let stand at least 8 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator. Yield: one 9-inch stack cake.
