Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil.
Mix the wet ingredients together until well combined, then stir in the molasses.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a smooth batter.
Prepare three round cake pans by spraying them with cooking spray and lightly dusting with flour.
Pour about 1 cup of batter into each prepared pan, spreading it into a thin, even layer.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pans before turning them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Repeat the baking process with the remaining batter to create all the layers (approximately 8-10 total).
To assemble the cake, place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate.
Spread a few tablespoons of apple butter evenly over the first layer.
Place another cake layer on top and repeat the process, alternating between cake layers and apple butter, until all layers are stacked.
Spread a final, generous layer of apple butter over the top of the cake and down the sides, using a spatula to smooth it out.
Slice and serve.
