Applesauce Cake In Canning Jar
Ingredients
1/2 C. Butter, or margarine
1 C. Brown sugar
1 C. Applesauce
2 1/2 C. Flour
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Ground cloves
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg, (optional)
1/4 tsp. Allspice, (optional)
1 C. Walnuts, chopped
Cooking Instructions
In bowl cream butter, gradually add sugar to the creamed butter. Thoroughly mix until fluffy. Add applesauce. Sift together all dry ingredients then add those to the mixture. Add the nuts, and stir well. Pour cake mixture into wide-mouth canning jars. WARNING: Please use only canning jars that are specially tempered. Do not use cans or other jars that may not be appropriate for this method due to lead content. Or, use a special crock pot baking pan available through Rival Co. To assure that baked cakes will slip out easily, grease inside of jars well. (Lining bottom of jars with waxed paper also will help.) Cover each jar with a piece of foil greased on one side. Place greased side down and press foil around edges to seal tightly. Place jars in crock pot with crock pot liner in place. Cover, cook on high-heat setting for 2 3/4 to 3 hours or until cakes spring back when touched and a wooden toothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean. Remove jars from crock pot, cool 10 minutes. Unmold cakes, remove waxed paper. Serve warm or cool with whipped topping, if desired.
