How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cake In Jars

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Sterilize as many canning jars as you anticipate needing (about 8, but test one first to determine the correct filling amount). Ensure lids are new.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pumpkin puree and milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Fill one jar approximately halfway with batter and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Measure how high the batter rises in the jar to determine the appropriate filling amount for remaining jars. Aim to leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch of space between the cake and the jar's lip.
  8. Fill the remaining jars to the determined level and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and jar size.
  9. Let the cakes cool completely in the jars before sealing with lids and rings.
  10. Once completely cooled, store in a cool, dry place. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin spice cakes!
