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.
