This recipe is from the Aleene’s Creative Living TV Show. Designs and
instructions by Penny Mathews.
Jars, seals and bands must be sterilized prior to use. Cover with water and
boil for 15 minutes. Dry jars. Allow seals and bands to remain in hot water
or re-heat before cakes are finished baking.
Blend all ingredients, except candy. Mix for about 2 minutes. Add a handful
of candy. Grease jars. Pour one cup batter into each jar. Drop a few
candies on top of batter. Place jars on a cookie sheet, not touching each
other. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. Do not over bake. Carefully
remove from oven. Place seals and screw bands on jars. Do not over tighten.
Let cool. For gift giving you can paint the lids and seals, glue real
buttons where desired and tie raffia around edge of lid. Write recipe on
index cards – decorate with a few buttons and give a cake and recipe to
someone special. For prolonged storage, keep cakes in refrigerator.
