2 tablespoons water, plus 1 teaspoon
whipped cream, for serving, optional
chocolate syrup, for serving, optional

CHOCOLATE CAKE IN A JAR



Chocolate Cake in a Jar image

I judge the Whirlpool Unique Cake Contest annually and it's kind of like the Pillsbury Bake Off. A chocolate cake with toffee topping called Chocolate Coffee Toffee Cake by Elizabeth Kisch won first place, as well as the $10,000 prize, which she donated to Heifer International. She is from Pennsylvania and made her cakes in jars one time to tuck into her husbands luggage for a business trip he was taking so he wouldn't miss his favorite cake she was serving at home while he was out of town. This is a simplified version of her cake.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup leftover brewed coffee
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 to 4 tablespoons water
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup pecans halves or pieces

Steps:

  • Special Equipment: 10 (8-ounce) Ball jars
  • Make the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 10 jars on a cookie sheet pan, evenly spaced out.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar and eggs and mix until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, cocoa, baking soda, and salt and mix. Add half of the flour; then half of the sour cream, and mix. Repeat with the remaining flour and sour cream. Drizzle in the coffee and mix until smooth. (The batter will be thin.)
  • Pour the batter into the jars, filling a little more than half way and bake until the tops almost firm to the touch, about 25 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, make the Frosting: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; then add the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water and stir until the sugar is dissolved, for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and beat in the powdered sugar adding 1 or 2 tablespoons more water so that the frosting is fairly liquid and can slide down the sides of the cake in the jar.
  • While the cake is still warm, sprinkle the top with pecans and pour the brown sugar icing over to cover and soak in. Let cool then screw on jar lids and keep at room temperature until ready to eat.

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup half-and-half
Vegetable nonstick spray
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • For the yellow cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a medium bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating in between additions. Add the vanilla and beat until well mixed.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Add half the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated. Mix in the half-and-half. Mix in the remaining half of the flour mixture.
  • Spray the jars with vegetable nonstick spray. Fill each jar about halfway full with batter. Place the jars on a baking sheet and bake until the cake springs back from a gentle touch, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the chocolate ganache: Boil the half-and-half in a saucepan. Add the chocolate. Let the ganache sit for 5 minutes, and then whisk until smooth.
  • Once the cakes are cooked, remove from the oven and cool, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon the chocolate ganache on top. Top jars with vacuum-seal lids. The heat of the cakes will create the seal as the cakes cool.

CHOCOLATE-PRALINE CAKE IN A JAR

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the cake:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup brewed coffee (I just use the morning's leftover coffee)
For the praline topping:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup pecan halves or pieces
Ten to twelve 1/2-pint canning jars
Rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place 10 to 12 1/2-pint glass canning jars on a rimmed baking sheet, evenly arranged with space between them. (If you have a Silpat liner, place it under the jars to prevent them from sliding around.)
  • To make the cakes, in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the butter until smooth. Add the brown sugar and eggs and mix until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, cocoa, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Add half of the flour, then half of the sour cream, and mix until combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and sour cream. Drizzle in the coffee and mix until smooth. The batter will be thin, like heavy cream.
  • Pour the batter into the jars, filling them halfway. Bake until the tops of the cakes are firm to the touch, about 25 minutes.*
  • To make the topping, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add the brown sugar and 1?2 cup water and stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar until combined, then return to the heat and bring to a boil. Stir in the nuts.
  • Pour the praline topping over the cakes to cover, working quickly, because the praline hardens quickly as it cools. Let the cakes cool completely if they aren't already, before screwing on jar lids.**
  • Do-Aheads
  • *The cakes can be made ahead, cooled, covered, and kept at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • **The finished cakes will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE CAKE BAKED IN A JAR



Chocolate Cake Baked in a Jar image

These cakes/breads baked in a jar can be kept for a year but for best results I think they are better if eaten within 6 months after they seal. They are moist and frosting isn't needed, but you can always put some on right before you eat them. My guys leave every year for deer camp for 2 weeks and crave some food from home while away and these are perfect for them (no cooking needed)

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 8 cakes, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter, plus
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
3 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°.
  • Pre-wash (8 pint-sized wide mouth canning jars) canning jars (be sure to use the kind that have no shoulders) in hot, soapy water.
  • Rinse well, dry and let them come to room temperature.
  • Grease insides of jar well.
  • Beat together butter and half of sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs and remaining sugar, vanilla and applesauce.
  • Sift dry ingredients together and add to the applesauce mixture a little at a time: beat well after each addition.
  • Pour one cup of batter into each jar and carefully remove any batter from the rims.
  • Place jars in a preheated 325° oven and bake for 40 minutes.
  • While cakes are baking, bring a saucepan of water to a boil and carefully add jar lids.
  • Remove pan from heat and keep lids hot until ready to use.
  • When the cakes have finished baking, remove jars from oven.
  • Make sure jar rims are clean.
  • (If they're not, jars will not seal correctly) Place lids on jars, and screw rings on tightly.
  • Jars will seal as they cool.
  • Cakes will slide right out when ready to serve.
  • Unsealed jars should be stored in the refrigerator and eaten within 2 weeks.
  • Sealed jars may be stored with other canned food or placed in a freezer.
  • DO NOT PLACE HOT JARS IN FREEZER!
  • The cake is safe to eat as long as the jar remains vacuum-sealed and free from mold.
  • To enjoy the best flavor, try to eat all canned cakes within 6 months.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will directly impact the flavor of your cake. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in your cake. If you only have salted butter, be sure to omit the additional salt called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Line the jars with parchment paper: This will make it easier to remove the cakes from the jars once they are baked.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will result in a dry, crumbly cake.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Serve the cakes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: These cakes are best enjoyed fresh, but they will keep in the refrigerator for a few days if necessary.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cake in a jar is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a decadent dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
