Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

⅔ cup shortening
2 ⅔ cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup water
3 cups grated apple
⅔ cup raisins
⅔ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease the insides of 8 straight-sided wide-mouth pint canning jars. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Cream shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and beat in well. Add flour alternately with water and mix until smooth. Fold in apples, raisins and nuts.
  • Fill jars 1/2 full of batter, being careful to keep the rims clean. Wipe off any batter that gets on the rims. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, sterilize the lids and rings in boiling water.
  • As soon as cake is done, remove from oven one at a time, wipe rims of jars and put on lid and ring. Jars will seal as cakes cool. Place the jars on the counter and listen for them to "ping" as they seal. If you miss the "ping", wait until they are completely cool and press on the top of the lid. If it doesn't move at all, it's sealed.
  • Jars should be eaten or kept in refrigerator for up to a week.

The girls and boys in my junior high home economics classes like this cake because it's not too sweet. I like it because it has high fiber and nutritional value-the apples are used unpeeled. Parents who have apple trees are always glad to donate the apples!

11/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cups vegetable shortening

Using the electric mixer and a medium mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar on low speed, then increase to medium mixing speed to mix well. While the mixer is running, add the eggs, one at a time. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the applesauce. With a large spoon, stir in the sifted flour mixture and the walnuts. Pour the batter into a measuring cup with a spout; pour the batter neatly into greased jars. Fill the jars halfway full. Place the filled jars on the sheet tray and bake on the center rack of the oven for 45 minutes. When done, the top of the cake will spring back when pressed with a finger, and the sides will have come away from the jar. Remove from oven and let cool 10 to 15 minutes. Cake will still be warm, but not hot. Place a circle of waxed paper on top of the jar and seal with the jar lid. Place carefully so as not to break the glass.

APPLESAUCE CAKE IN A JAR



Applesauce Cake in a Jar image

These make lovely gifts, and the size can be varied (I've made 1/2 pint and pint jars with equal success.) These will keep in the cupboard for up to one year (theoretically!) Depending on the size on your jars, you can either bake them in muffin tins, or use crumpled aluminum foil on a baking sheet to keep them from sliding. Correction: Thanks to the review, I'm redacting the "storing in cupboard" portion of the note. These should be stored in the freezer or consumed immediately.

Who doesn't love a delicious, moist and flavorful dessert that can be easily packed and transported? That's where the apple raisin cake in a jar recipe comes in! This sweet treat is not only convenient to take on the go, but also perfect for gifting to friends and family. With its moist and tender crumb, along with the comforting flavors of apples and raisins, this cake is a crowd pleaser.

What is an apple raisin cake in a jar?

In essence, an apple raisin cake in a jar is a cake that is baked and layered in mason jars. The ingredients and flavors are similar to those of traditional apple cake recipes, but the presentation is different. Some recipes call for the cake to be baked in the jars, while others involve layering cake, frosting, and filling in the jars. In either case, the result is a visually appealing and tasty dessert that can be individualized by the jar size.

The Benefits of Using a Jar

There are many benefits to baking in jars. First of all, it provides portion control. Unlike a full-sized cake, which requires slicing and dishing on separate plates, cakes in jars can be guiltlessly indulged in without worrying about overeating. Additionally, they are already perfectly portioned, making it easy to take a few jars on the go or give them as sweet gifts to loved ones. Another benefit to using jars to bake individualized cakes is that they are stackable and portable. This makes them easy to transport without worrying about the yield. They fit easily in a backpack or tote, making them perfect for picnics, outdoor events, or as a personal treat in your lunchbox. Finally, baking in jars provides a unique aesthetic appeal. The jar shape allows for a visually stunning cake that can be layered with different colors, textures, and tastes. It's a fun way to play around with different flavors and frostings, allowing for more creativity and experimentation in the kitchen.

Apple Raisin Cake Recipe Tips

- Use small, wide-mouthed jars with lids to make it easy to eat and reseal the cakes. Mason jars make great choices for this type of baking. - Use fresh, crisp apples to add texture to the cake. Avoid using mealy or mushy apples. - Soak the raisins in hot water for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the batter. This makes them plump and juicy, rather than dry and hard. - Incorporate spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, or cloves to add warmth, depth, and complexity of flavor to the cake. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will cause the cake to be tough and dry. Mix the ingredients until just combined. - Layer the cake with a simple frosting, such as cream cheese, vanilla buttercream, or whipped cream. You can also add fillings like caramel sauce, fruit compote, or chocolate ganache to add more flavor and depth. - Be sure to leave enough room at the top of the jars for frosting and decorations. - For a fun twist, try adding a layer of crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs to the bottom of the jar. This adds a sweet, crunchy layer to the cake.

Conclusion

Apple raisin cake in a jar is a unique, fun way to enjoy an individualized dessert with all the comforting, delicious flavors of traditional apple cake. It's versatile, easily transportable, and perfect for sharing. With a few simple tips and ingredients, you can create a beautifully layered cake that is sure to please your taste buds and impress your friends and family.
Apple raisin cake in a jar is a scrumptious dessert that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion. The combination of apples and raisins gives this cake a sweet and fruity flavor that is irresistible. What makes this cake even more special is that it is served in a jar, making it a perfect gift or treat for any dessert lover. In this article, we will share valuable tips to ensure that your apple raisin cake in a jar is perfect every time.

Tip #1: Choose the right apples

When making apple raisin cake in a jar, it is essential to choose the right type of apple. The best types of apples to use in this recipe are those that are firm and crisp. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Gala are all excellent choices. These apples hold up well during baking and keep their shape, which adds to the cake's texture.

Tip #2: Soak raisins before adding them to the batter

Soaking the raisins in hot water for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the batter is an excellent way to ensure that they are moist and plump. This will prevent the raisins from drying out during the baking process and ensure that they blend perfectly with the other ingredients.

Tip #3: Use a high-quality flour

The type of flour you use can significantly affect the texture and taste of your apple raisin cake in a jar. It is best to use a high-quality flour, such as all-purpose flour or cake flour, for better results. These flours have the right consistency, and they help create a tender, moist, and flavorful cake.

Tip #4: Add spices for flavor

Adding spices to your apple raisin cake in a jar is an excellent way to enhance its flavor. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are great choices. These spices complement the sweetness of the apples and raisins and create a savory taste that makes the cake even more enjoyable.

Tip #5: Don't overmix the batter

When making apple raisin cake in a jar, it is crucial not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a dense, tough, and dry cake. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, and be careful not to overdo it.

Tip #6: Use jars of the right size

Using jars of the right size is crucial when making apple raisin cake in a jar. The jars should be large enough to fit the batter and smaller than a regular cake pan. Mason jars, jelly jars, and even baby food jars make excellent choices. Remember to leave enough headspace for the cake to rise, and ensure that the jars are sterilized before use.

Tip #7: Fill the jars carefully

Filling the jars carefully is essential when making apple raisin cake in a jar. Fill the jars halfway, and then tap them gently on a surface to remove any air bubbles. Add more batter until the jars are two-thirds full, and smooth the top evenly with a spatula or spoon.

Tip #8: Bake the cakes in a water bath

Baking the apple raisin cakes in a water bath is a great way to ensure that they cook evenly and that the jars don't break or crack. Place the jars in a baking dish with high sides and add enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the jars. Bake the cakes at 350°F for 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.

Tip #9: Allow the cakes to cool

Allowing the apple raisin cakes to cool completely before serving is crucial. This allows them to set and ensures that they come out of the jars easily. Remove the jars from the baking dish and let them cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Then, run a small knife around the edges of the cakes and gently remove them from the jars.

Tip #10: Add toppings for decoration

Adding toppings to the apple raisin cakes in a jar is an excellent way to make them look more appealing. Whipped cream, caramel sauce, and chopped nuts are all great choices. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra burst of flavor.

Conclusion

Apple raisin cake in a jar is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following these valuable tips, you can ensure that your cakes turn out perfectly every time. Remember to choose the right apples, soak the raisins, use high-quality flour, add spices for flavor, and fill the jars carefully. Baking the cakes in a water bath and allowing them to cool before adding toppings will guarantee that they are moist and tender. With these tips, you are sure to impress your family and friends with your mouth-watering apple raisin cake in a jar.
