Pumpkin Spice Cake In Jars
1 c Seedless raisins 1 c Walnuts 2 c All-purpose flour 2 ts Baking soda 1/4 ts Baking powder 1/2 ts Salt 2 ts Ground cloves 2 ts Ground cinnamon 1 ts Ground ginger 4 lg Eggs 2 c Granulated sugar 1 c Salad oil - (use fresh oil only) 16 oz Cn pumpkin (not pie filling) Preheat oven to 325-degrees. Sterilize 8 Ball Quilted Crystal (#14400-81400) jam/jelly canning jars, lids and rings by boiling them for 15 minutes. Remove the jars and allow them to air-dry on your countertop; leave the lids and rings in the water until you`re ready to use them. Once the jars are cool enough to handle, grease the insides with shortening (DO NOT use butter, margarine, PAM or Baker`s Secret). Coarsely chop the raisins and walnuts; set aside. I used my mini chopper and did them in batches. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cloves, cinnamon and ginger in a lg bowl. Add raisins and walnuts; toss to lightly combine; set aside. In another large bowl, beat eggs at high speed until thick and yellow (2-3 minutes). Gradually beat in the sugar until thick and light. At low speed, beat in the oil and pumpkin; blend well. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Divide batter among the 8 canning jars (should be slightly less than 1/2 full). Wipe the sides of the jar off in case you slop or it`ll burn (mine did -- didn`t wipe them down). Place jars on a cookie sheet or they`ll tip over. Bake in preheated 325-degree oven for about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of cakes (deep) and comes out clean. Move the jars around in the oven while they`re baking so they bake evenly. When cakes test done, remove them one-by-one (use HEAVY DUTY mitts); place a HOT lid, then a ring on and screw down tightly. Place jars onto your countertop to cool completely. Linda/BDT Burbank, CA (USA) Posted in COOKING by: Sandee Eveland 8/31/93 |
