Ingredients and Directions:


2 Canning jars (wide mouth)

1 c All-purpose flour

1 c Sugar

1/2 ts Baking soda

1/4 ts Ground cinnamon (optional)

1/3 c Butter or Margarine

1/4 c -Water

3 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 c Buttermilk

1 Egg beaten

1/2 ts Vanilla extract

1/4 c Walnuts finely chopped

Here's one you can start out with, it makes 2 jars. Every recipe technique is the

same, just different ingredients.. Sterilize, two 1-pint straight-sided wide-mouth

canning jars especifically made for canning jams and jellies lids and rings by

boiling for 10 minutes (keep the lids and rings in the hot water until ready to

use) set aside. In a small bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and

cinnamon, if desired. Set aside. In a medium saucepan combine butter or margarine,

water and cocoa powder; heat and stir until butter or margarine is melted and

mixture is well blended.

Remove from heat; stir in flour mixture. Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla, beat by

hand until smooth. Stir in nuts. Pour mixture into the prepared canning jars; place

jars onto a cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 325-degrees.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a pick inserted deep into each cake comes out

clean. Remove cakes from the oven, one at a time. Place a lid, then a ring onto the

jars and screw down tightly. USE HEAVY-DUTY MITTS, the jars ARE HOT!!

Place jars onto your counter to cool. You'll hear a plinking sound. If you miss the

sound, wait until the cakes are cool and press on the lids, they shouldn't move at

all, that means they've sealed.

Store cakes in a cool, dark place. They should last up to a year--I don't know,

they've never lasted that long around here! If you'd like to decorate them, place a

wad of cotton in the center of each lid, then place a piece of decorative cloth,

about 3-inches larger in circumference than the lid, (cut with pinking shears) on

top of the cotton. Screw the ring back on (by this time the rings can be removed as

the lids should be sealed). Use your imagination when decorating--a hot glue gun

works wonders (dried flowers, ribbon, etc).
