chocolate cake baked in a jar

Desciption

these cakes/breads baked in a jar can be kept for a year but for best results i think they are better if eaten within 6 months after they seal. they are moist and frosting isn't needed, but you can always put some on right before you eat them. my guys leave every year for deer camp for 2 weeks and crave some food from home while away and these are perfect for them (no cooking needed)

Steps

Preheat oven to 325
Pre-wash canning jars in hot
Soapy water
Rinse well
Dry and let them come to room temperature
Grease insides of jar well
Beat together butter and half of sugar until fluffy
Add eggs and remaining sugar
Vanilla and applesauce
Sift dry ingredients together and add to the applesauce mixture a little at a time: beat well after each addition
Pour one cup of batter into each jar and carefully remove any batter from the rims
Place jars in a preheated 325 oven and bake for 40 minutes
While cakes are baking
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and carefully add jar lids
Remove pan from heat and keep lids hot until ready to use
When the cakes have finished baking
Remove jars from oven
Make sure jar rims are clean
Place lids on jars
And screw rings on tightly
Jars will seal as they cool
Cakes will slide right out when ready to serve
Unsealed jars should be stored in the refrigerator and eaten within 2 weeks
Sealed jars may be stored with other canned food or placed in a freezer
Do not place hot jars in freezer !
The cake is safe to eat as long as the jar remains vacuum-sealed and free from mold
To enjoy the best flavor
Try to eat all canned cakes within 6 months
