Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
----Supplies Needed----
4 wide mouth canning jars -- (1 1/2 pint )
4 new lids - don't use old ones
4 rings okay to use old ones
----Batter----
3 egg whites -- whipped
2 c granulated sugar
1 c margarine -- at room temperature
2 c zucchini -- grated
1 tsp vanilla
3 c unbleached flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsps cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves

Preheat oven at 325. Place a baking sheet onto middle rack and remove top rack
from oven. Before starting batter, wash jars, lids, and rings in hot soapy
wate
r and let drain, dry, and cool to room temperature. Generously prepare inside
o
f jars with margarine. To prepare batter, combine flour, salt, baking soda,
ba
king powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In another mixing bowl, combine egg
whites, sugar, margarine, and zucchini. Divide batter among 4 jars (should be
s
lightly less than half full). Carefully wipe rims clean, then place jars on
bak
ing sheet (or they'll tip over) in the center of oven. Bake 40 minutes. Keep
l
ids in hot water until they're used. When cakes are done, remove jars which
are
HOT from oven one at a time. If rims need cleaning, use moistened paper
towel.
Carefully put lids and rings in place, then screw tops on tightly shut.
Place
jars on a wire rack; they will seal as they cool.

Once jars are cool, decorate with round pieces of cloth. Unscrew the ring (the
lid should be sealed by now) and place a few cotton balls on top of the lid
(mak
es it poofy on top), then a piece of cloth (about 3" larger than the lid)
on top
and screw the ring back on. Decorate as desired (example pinking shears).
