Recipe: Chocolate cake in a jar


Hi nommies ! Not I wanted to crop jacelyn away, but it is to let you all see the cake in the jar ! hahahs ! 
Anyway yes, today's recipe will beeeee~ Chocolate jar in a jar ! 

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts 
4 small jar ( able to put inside oven)

Directions:

To make buttermilk:
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make one too ! 
1. Half fill the jar with the heavy cream milk. Then screw the lid on firmly
2. start shaking the jar back and forth. After several minutes, the cream will thicken and turn into whipped cream.
3. Keep shaking until the whipped cream is replaced with a yellow glob and a separate liquid (buttermilk)


To make the chocolate cake:
  1.  Sterilize 4 straight sided wide mouth canning jars, lids and rings by boiling for 10minutes. Keep the lids and rings in the hot water until needed. Preheat oven to 165 degrees C
  2. In a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon. set aside
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, water and cocoa powder. Heat and stir until butter is melted and mixture is well blended. Pour into a large bowl.
  4. Stir in flour mixture and blend. Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla and beat by hand until smooth.
  5. Pour a layer of walnut (about 1.5cm) and then use a piping bag to pour the chocolate mixture into the jar. 
DO NOT OVERFILL THE JAR, JUST HALF WILL DO BECAUSE IT WILL EXPAND AND MIGHT OVERFLOW ! 
That happened to mine ._.

And this small cupcake in the end is the leftover after I place it inside the jar, but if you use 4 jars, there should be no extras, because I only use two jars, and overflow it ._.


Rate: 3.5/5, super easy to bake and pretty to give your friend, quite healthy too, because this is one of the cupcakes that do not require much sugar ! Try it !
