My Sister-in-Law Andrea and I made Applesauce Cake in a Jar yesterday! I like it because it's delicious, easy to make, it slides right out of the jar, it lasts 6 months to a year, and it's nice to have something yummy to give away!!! So, here's how we made it:
Cream: 2/3 C. Shortening & 2 2/3 C. Sugar
Add: 4 eggs, 2/3 C. Water, 2 C. Applesauce
(It looks nasty at this point)
Mix: 3 1/2 C. Flour, 2 t. Baking Soda, 1/2 t. Baking Powder, 1 1/2 t. Salt, 1/4 t. Cloves, & 2 t. Cinnamon
Stir Together: Dry and Wet Ingredients
Optional:Add 1 Cup Chopped Nuts
(If you use a Bosch Mixer-It gets pretty full at this point)
Pour into 6 well greased, wide mouth pint canning jars. Fill to 1/2 Full.
(This gets a LITTLE MESSY- At least when I do it)
Bake on bottom rack 45 minutes at 325.
Remove jars one at a time. Cut off excess cake. Wipe rim clean and dip jar lid in boiling water. Place jar lid on top and screw band on tightly.
(We had to work quickly here-This is the most crucial part I would say)
Cool Jars.
Store, Give Away or Eat & Enjoy!
