Looking for comfort food that you don't need to cook in an emegency situation? Well look no farther... here it is CAKE IN A JAR!!!
APPLE SAUCE CAKE-IN-A-JAR
Ingredients:
1 large can (24 oz) of apple sauce, or 3 cups of peeled, chopped apples.
3 eggs
3 cups flour (all purpose)
1 cup corn oil
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts or hazelnuts, pecans, etc
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup raisins, currants, or chopped dates
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease and flour 6 or 8 wide mouth PINT jars. Fill the jars about HALF full with cake batter. Bake at 325 for about 30 minutes, or until a tooth pick comes out dry. While the cake is cooking start your lids and rings to simmering on the stove. Remove the jars from the oven ONE at a time, wipe the rim, then cap with simmering canning lid and secure the ring. Cool the jars on a towel until they "ping" and seal. Store on a dark, cool shelf.
For a "different" taste I deleted ½ cup of applesauce and add ½ cup of brandy or rum to the cake batter. This should ensure it will keep for years. This cake will be spirit-filled!
