List of Ingredients




1 Stick plus 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
3 cups sugar (can use 2-1/2 cups- very good results)
4 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
3 cups flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Recipe



Preheat oven to 325°. Wash 8 (1-pint) wide-mouth jars. Generously grease insides of jars.
With electric mixer, beat together butter & half of sugar until light & fluffy. Beat in eggs, then remaining sugar, vanilla, & almond extract. Beat in applesauce
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to applesauce mixture in thirds, beating well after each addition to make a thick batter. Stir in chopped pecans.
Spoon 1 level cupful of batter into each jar. Carefully wipe rims clean, then place jars in center of preheated oven. Bake 40 minutes. (May have to baked a bit longer.)
About 10 minutes before cakes are done, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Put in jar lids, cover, and remove from heat. Keep lids in hot water until they're used
When cakes are done, remove jars from oven. If jar rims need cleaning, use a moistened paper towel. Carefully put lids and rings in place, then screw tops tightly shut. Place jars on a wire rack; they will seal as they cool.
