Pumpkin Spice Jar Cake Recipe
8 (1 pint) canning jars) 1 cup raisins (opt.)
1 cup walnuts (opt.) 2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt 2 tsp.ground cloves
1 tsp. ground ginger 4 eggs
2 cups sugar 1 cup vegetable oil
16 oz.can pumpkin

Wash jars, allow jars to dry. Once dry, generously grease the inside of each jar with shortening.

Preheat oven to 325 F. Coarsely chop the raisins and walnuts; set aside. Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add raisins and nuts; toss lightly to combine. In a separate bowl, beat eggs at high speed until thick and lemon colored, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat in the sugar until thick and light. At low speed, beat in the oil and pumpkin; blend well. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until well blended.

Divide batter among jars (about 3/4 cup). Wipe batter from the rim of the jars. Place jars on a baking sheet, and bake 35-40 minutes or until a pick inserted into the center of each jar comes out clean.

While the cakes are baking, place the lids and rings in a pan of water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and leave them in the water until the cakes are done. Remove the cakes from the oven one at a time, place the lids and rings on them and tighten. Allow the jars to cool, then check to be sure they have sealed. There should be no movement on the lid. If any have not sealed properly, eat them within a week.

In a medium bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream sugars and butter with electric mixer. Add eggs and mix well. Add milk and vanilla and mix well. Add flour mixture and blend with a large spoon. Gently fold in nuts.

Oreo & Fudge Ice Cream Cake (Joycelyn)

1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping thawed and divided
1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) JELL-O Chocolate Instant Pudding
8 OREO Cookies, chopped (about 1 cup)
12 vanilla ice cream sandwiches

POUR fudge topping into medium bowl. Whisk in 1 cup COOL WHIP. Add dry pudding mix; stir 2 min. Stir in chopped cookies.

ARRANGE 4 ice cream sandwiches, side-by-side, on 24-inch-long piece of foil; top with half the COOL WHIP mixture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining sandwiches. Frost top and sides with remaining COOL WHIP. Bring up foil sides; double fold top and ends to loosely seal packet.

I crushed more oreo cookies and sprinkled them on the outside of the whip topping frosting to keep the cream from sticking to the tin foil.

Crockpot Chocolate Mud Cake (Joycelyn)

Microwave in separate bowls until melted: (careful not to get them too hot)
6 tablespoons butter
2 ounces semisweet chocolate (or 1/3 cup chocolate chips)

Mix together the following in a small bowl:
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 egg

Mix together in a large bowl the following dry ingredients.
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sugar (2/3 cup & 1/3 cup, added separately)
3 tablespoons cocoa
Add melted ingredients and milk &egg mixture to the dry ingredients in the large bowl and blend well.

Coat the inside of a 2 1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. (Note: the cake's cooking time and final appearance will vary depending on your crock's size.)

Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it evenly.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the following ingredients until the sugar is dissolved.
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
11/2 cups hot water
Pour this mixture over the batter in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the crock pot.

Even when done, the cake will be very moist and floating on a layer of molten chocolate, but you'll know it's ready when nearly all of the cake is set and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pot. (As you check, try not to let the condensed steam from the lid drip onto the cake.)

When it's done, turn off the power and remove the lid. Let it cool for 25 minutes, then serve it in bowls topped with whipped cream or ice cream. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
