Инструкции
- Here's one you can start out with, it makes 2 jars. Every recipe technique is the same, just different ingredients.. Sterilize, two 1-pint straight-sided wide-mouth canning jars (specifically made for canning jams and jellies) lids and rings by boiling for 10 min (keep the lids and rings in the warm water till ready to use); set aside. In a small bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon, if you like. Set aside. In a medium saucepan combine butter or possibly margarine, water and cocoa pwdr; heat and stir till butter or possibly margarine is melted and mix is well blended.
- Remove from heat; stir in flour mix. Add in buttermilk, egg and vanilla; beat by hand till smooth. Stir in nuts. Pour mix into the prepared canning jars; place jars onto a cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 325-degrees.
- Bake for 35-40 min or possibly till a pick inserted deep into each cake comes out clean. Remove cakes from the oven, one at a time. Place a lid, then a ring onto the jars and screw down tightly. USE HEAVY-DUTY MITTS, the jars ARE Warm!!
- Place jars onto your counter to cold. You'll hear a "plinking" sound. If you miss the sound, wait till the cakes are cold and press on the lids, they should not move at all, which means they've sealed.
- Store cakes in a cold, dark place. They should last up to a year-I do not know, they've never lasted which long around here! If you'd like to decorate them, place a wad of cotton in the center of each lid, then place a piece of decorative cloth, about 3-inches larger in circumference than the lid,
- (cut with pinking shears) on top of the cotton. Screw the ring back on (by this time the rings can be removed as the lids should be sealed). Use your imagination when decorating-a warm glue gun works wonders (dry flowers, ribbon, etc). These make WONDERFUL Christmas gifts.
