    Pumpkin Spice Cake in a Jar

    posted by sparrow on Family Fare

    List of Ingredients





    1 c. seedless raisins
    1 c. walnuts
    2 c. flour
    2 tsp. baking soda
    1/4 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    2 tsp. cloves
    2 tsp. cinnamon
    1 tsp. ginger
    4 eggs
    2 c. sugar
    1 c. vegetable oil
    16 oz. canned pumpkin

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 325F. Sterilize eight 1-pint, straight-sided Kerr or
    Ball Quilted Crystal, 12-oz, straight-sided, Ball #14400-81400,
    canning jars, lids and rings by in boiling water for 10 minutes.
    Remove the jars from the water and allow to air-dry. Leave the lids
    and rings in the hot water until ready to use. Once cool, brush, use
    a pastry brush, the inside of jars with shortening, DO NOT use Pam
    or Baker's Secret; set aside.

    Coarsely chop the nuts and raisins; set aside. Sift together the
    flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger
    in a large bowl. Add raisins and walnuts; toss lightly to combine. In
    another large bowl, beat eggs at high speed until thick and yellow, 2-
    3 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar until thick and light. At low
    speed, beat in the oil and pumpkin; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir
    in the flour mixture until well blended. Divide batter among the
    eight canning jars, should be slightly less than 1/2 full. Wipe the
    sides of the jar off, inside/outside, in case you slop or it'll burn.

    Place jars on a cookie sheet or they'll tip over. Bake in preheated
    325F oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted deep into
    the center of the cakes comes out clean. When cakes test done, remove
    the jars, one-by-one, place a lid, then a ring onto each jar, screw
    down tightly. USE HEAVY-DUTY MITTS! The jars are HOT! Place jars onto
    your counter to cool. You'll be able to tell if they've sealed--
    you'll hear a "plinking" sound. If you miss the sound, test each jar
    by pushing on the lids once the jars are cool, they shouldn't move at
    all. These will keep in a cool, dark place for about 1 year.
