Canned Cake

Here's a cool tip I found this week. I never heard about canning cake before, so the idea made me smile. I guess comfort foods are good to keep in store for lean days, along with the basics.

Items needed:

Wide mouth canning jars
Shortening
Knox gelatin
Any bread, cake, brownie, muffin, or cookie mix
Ingredients for the mix, minus eggs.

Grease inside wide mouth jars. Make cake mixes as directed, except in place of eggs, mix in 1 teaspoon of Knox gelatin with 3 tablespoons of cold water, and 2 tablespoons of hot water.

Pour batter half way up each jar. Place jars on cookie sheet and bake as directed. Once cakes are done, screw on lids and let cool. The jars will seal as they cool.

These cakes stay good for up to 1 year. What could be simpler?

Yum! And worth a try, I'd say! I think the kids would have fun making these for family home evening, then maybe eating them the next month.
