Brownie Cakes in a Jar
INGREDIENTS:
1 c All-purpose flour (plain
-flour)
1 c Sugar
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon (optional)
1/3 c Butter or margarine
1/4 c Water
3 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c Buttermilk
1 Egg; beaten
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 c Walnuts; finely chopped
1 c All-purpose flour (plain
-flour)
1 c Sugar
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon (optional)
1/3 c Butter or margarine
1/4 c Water
3 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c Buttermilk
1 Egg; beaten
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 c Walnuts; finely chopped
In a small bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon (if desired). Set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine butter or margarine, water and cocoa powder; heat and stir until margarine is melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat; stir in flour mixture. Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla; beat by hand until smooth. Stir in nuts. Pour mixture into prepared canning jars. Place jars onto a cookie sheet or they'll tip over.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a pick inserted DEEP into the center of each cake comes out clean. Move the jars around in the oven while baking so they bake evenly. Once the cakes test done, using HEAVY-DUTY mitts (the jars ARE HOT!), remove the jars one-by-one; place a lid on top, then a ring and quickly screw down tightly. Place the jars onto your countertop to cool completely.
