Applesauce Cake Baked In a Jar
2/3 c Shortening 2 2/3 c Sugar 4 Eggs 2 c Applesauce 2/3 c Water 3 1/3 c All-purpose flo sifted 1/2 ts Baking powder 2 ts Baking soda 1 1/2 ts Salt 1 ts Cinnamon 2 ts Ground cloves 2/3 c Nuts, chopped (optional) Preheat oven to 325-degrees. Sterilize 5 straight-sided Ball Quilted Crystal (#14400- 81400) canning jars, lids and rings by boiling them for 15 minutes. Keep the lids and rings in the water until you`re ready to use them. Remove the jars from the water and place them on a clean dish towel to air-dry (up, not upside down). When the jars are cool enough to handle, grease the insides with shortening (DO NOT use butter, margarine, PAM or Baker`s Secret); set aside. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves; set aside. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the applesauce and water. Blend the dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture. Fold in the nuts.; set aside. Fill well greased jars half full. Place the jars onto a cookie sheet or they`ll tip over. Bake for 35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. like you would any canned goods. The method for making the cakes is the same -- no matter which recipe you use. The only difference will be the ingredients (of course), the amount of jars needed and the baking times- -that`s all, everything else is the same. Don`t limit yourself to the recipes I`m giving you -- use your favorite quick-bread recipe. I plan on trying the Carrot Cake recipe I posted.
