π° Description: Have you ever experienced the joy of baking cakes in canning jars? It’s not just a culinary endeavor; it’s a delightful adventure in every jar! Quick bread-type cakes, especially ones with a pumpkin spice twist, are the perfect candidates for this unique baking experience. The magic lies in the fact that these jar-sealed cakes stay as moist as the day they were baked, and sometimes, even more so. However, it’s essential to follow a few tricks to ensure your cakes turn out just right.
π Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325Β°F.
- Sterilize 8 (12 oz) Ball Quilted Crystal Canning Jars, lids, and rings by boiling them for 10 minutes. Leave the lids and rings in hot water until ready to use; remove jars and allow them to air-dry and cool.
- Prepare the batter while jars are cooling.
- Using a pastry brush, coat the inside of the cooled jars with shortening (avoid Pam or Baker’s Secret); set aside.
- Coarsely chop seedless raisins and walnuts; set aside.
- Sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cloves, cinnamon, and ginger in a large bowl. Add raisins and walnuts, tossing to combine.
- In another large bowl, beat eggs at high speed until thick and yellow (2-3 minutes). Gradually beat in sugar until thick and light.
- At low speed, beat in the oil and canned pumpkin until well blended. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until well combined.
- Divide the batter among the 8 canning jars, filling them slightly less than half full. Wipe the sides of the jar off (inside/outside) to prevent burning.
- Place jars onto a cookie sheet to avoid tipping over during baking.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a pick inserted into the center of each jar comes out clean.
- Have your lids and rings ready. Take one jar at a time from the oven, place a lid and ring on, and screw down tightly. Use HEAVY-DUTY mitts β the jars are HOT! Place the jars onto your countertop to cool. You’ll know they’ve sealed when you hear a “plinking sound.”
