or vegetable cans as most contain lead and are painted
or sealed with materials that may give off toxic gases
when heated.

This recipe doesn't say you can seal them up and store
them in your pantry but my Kerr Canning book recipe
says you can; here's how:

Remove jars from the oven one at a time, wipe rim of
jar clean; put on lid and ring and screw on tightly.

Jars will seal as the cake cools. Store like canned
goods.

If you'll be giving these as gifts, take a piece of
decorative cloth (about 1-inch larger in circumference
than the lid or as large as you'd like) and put it on
top of the lid, then screw on the ring. Make sure you
screw the lid on very tightly. I like to use pinking
shears to cut the cloth out with.
