CHOCOLATE APPLESAUCE BREAD IN A JAR (Chocolate Cherry Bread)
1 cup butter
3 cups granulated sugar
4 egg whites whipped
1 Tbl Vanilla
1 tsp Almond Extract
2 cups applesauce-room temp
3 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place a baking sheet onto the middle rack and remove the top rack from the oven. Before starting your batter, wash the jars and lids in hot, soapy water and let jars drain, dry, and cool to room temp. Generously coat inside of jars with butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, egg whites, vanilla, almond extract and applesauce. In another mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients until moistened.
Spoon 1 level cupful of batter into each jar. Carefully wipe rims clean.
Place the jars on the baking sheet (so they don't tip over) in the center of the oven. Bake for 40 mins. Keep lids in hot water until they're used. When cakes are done, remove jars one at a time. If rims need cleaning, use a moistened paper towel. Carefully put lids and rings in place, then screw the tops TIGHTLY shut. Place jars on a wire rack. They will seal as they cool.
When you are ready to eat the bread simply remove the lid and dump the bread out. You may want to run a knife along the inside of the jar to help it come out smoothly. Slice and enjoy!

Love you Jack thank you!!
ReplyDeletedang I used too large of a jar. :( I will have to go get smaller ones and try again. But I think they will taste yummy. I wonder with all the extra air if it will still be good in a week? what do you think?
ReplyDeleteAs long as the lids sealed tight they should be fine! I forgot to mention the reason I also called it Chocolate Cherry bread is because the almond flavoring puts off a cherry flavor (strange I know) and all of the Soldiers thought it was Cherry so the name stuck!
ReplyDeletehahah I so remember making this and salsa with you to send to your hubby!!
