Mix the ingredients together in the order given.
Sterilize 7 to 9 wide-mouth pint jars and lids. Grease them
with shortening. Fill the jars half full ane bake on the
middle rack in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes at 325~. As
soon as the cake is done, remove the jars from the oven 1
at a time. Wipe the rim of the jar clean with a cloth and
put on the hot sterilized lids. Screw down the bands and
let cool. Important - Do not use small mouth jars. Do not
add any other ingredients. As the cake cools in the sealed
jar, it will pull away from the side of the jar and come
out easily when read to serve.
Slice and serve with LEMON SAUCE- In a pan thoroughly
stir together the cornstarch, sugar and salt. Gradually
stir in the boiling water, stirring constantly to keep it
smooth. Continue stirring and cook over moderate heat until
boiling. Boil gently for about 20 minutes. Remove from
heat, add butter, lemon rind and juice. Stir throughly.
Serve hot over apple cake. Makes 1-1/4 cup. This sauce is
thicker and more tart than the usual lemon sauce.
