Chocolate Cake In A Jar Ii Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a quart jar. Layer remaining ingredients in the order listed. Press each layer firmly in place before adding the next layer.
