Cream together 4 oz of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar until fluffy.

Add 1 egg and mix until combined.

Stir in 1/3 cup of molasses.

In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Roll out about a third of the dough and press it into a greased cake pan.

Repeat with the remaining dough to create three layers.

Bake the layers at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown at the edges.

Prepare apple butter by cooking down 6 apples with sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a slow cooker for 11 hours.

Layer the baked cake layers with apple butter in between each layer, and top with remaining apple butter.

Refrigerate the layered cake overnight before serving.
