Apple Cider Cake
F ✖️ 🌞 🧵 🫴
🖨 Print     👁 View Full Page   
Serving Size: Makes a 9" cake
Ingredients
2-1/2 cups sifted cake flour  2 tsp. baking powder 
1/4 tsp. baking soda  1 tsp. salt 
1 tsp. cinnamon  1-1/2 cups sugar 
3/4 cup shortening  3/4 cup sweet apple cider 
3 eggs  crabapple jelly 
7-minute frosting   
Directions
Place the dry ingredients into a sifter but DO NOT sift yet.
Place the shortening into a mixing bowl and stir to soften.
Sift in the dry ingredients.
Add the apple cider and mix until all the dry ingredients are dampened.
Beat 3 minutes at low speed, or 300 strokes by hand.
Add eggs and beat 1 minutes more.

Pour batter into 2 9" round pans lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes.

This next part is sorta weird.
Split the layers. (I assume this means you now have 4 thin layers??)
Spread a layer with crabapple jelly.
Cover with the second layer.
Spread with 7-minute frosting.
Repeat.
Cover the sides of the cake with the rest of the frosting.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
