-------- ------------ --------------------------------
----Supplies Needed----
3 jars Ball (#14400-81400) -- (12 oz)
8 new lids - don't use old ones
8 rings okay to use old ones
----Batter----
1 c unbleached flour
1 c granulated sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/3 c margarine -- at room temperature
1/4 c water
3 tbsps cocoa powder -- sifted
1/4 c buttermilk* -- at room temperature
1 egg white -- whipped
1/2 tsp vanilla
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, sugar, baking soda,
and
cinnamon in a mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, combine margarine, water,
c
ocoa powder, buttermilk, egg white, and vanilla. Divide batter among 3 jars
(sh
ould be slightly less than half full). Carefully wipe rims clean, then place
ja
rs on baking sheet (or they'll tip over) in the center of oven. Bake 40
minutes
. Keep lids 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
pa
per towel. Carefully put lids and rings in place, then screw tops on tightly
shu
t. Place jars on a wire rack; they will seal as they cool.
Once jars are cool, decorate with round pieces of cloth and then glue on
flowers
, ribbons, etc. on lid, ring and side of jar. Unscrew the ring (the lid should
be sealed by now) and place a few cotton balls on top of the lid (makes 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).
