How to Make Apple Brandy Gingerbread Snack Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses and vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. In a medium bowl, toss the peeled and sliced apples with the brown sugar, brandy, and butter.
7. Spread half of the gingerbread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
8. Top with the apple mixture, then spread the remaining gingerbread batter over the apples.
9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional).
