Zubereitung von Applesauce Cake In A Jar
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, then stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce and ½ cup water.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Grease pint-sized canning jars with wide mouths. Fill each jar about halfway full.
- Place jars in a baking pan and fill with about 1 inch of hot water to create a water bath (this ensures even baking and prevents cracking).
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Carefully remove jars from the oven and let them cool completely. Wipe jar lips clean.
- Once cooled, add canning lids and rings. These cakes are best stored in the freezer or refrigerated and consumed within a week.
- Decorate the tops of the jars with a festive ribbon or sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
