1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup applesauce
2 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg -- (opt.)
1/4 tsp allspice -- (opt.)
1 cup walnuts -- chopped
Directions
In bowl cream butter; gradually add sugar to the creamed butter.
Thoroughly mix until fluffy. Add applesauce. Sift together all dry
ingredients, then add those to the mixture. Add the nuts, and stir
well. Pour cake mixture into wide-mouth canning jars. WARNING: Please
use only canning jars that are specially tempered. Do not use cans or
other jars that may not be appropriate for this method due to lead
content. Or, use a special crockpot baking pan available thruough
Rival Co. To assure that baked cakes will slip out easily, grease
inside of jars well. (Lining bottom of jars with waxed paper also
will help.) Cover each jar with a piece of foil greased on one side.
Place greased side down and press foil around edges to seal tightly.
Place jars in crockpot with crockery liner in place. Cover; cook on
high-heat setting for 2 3/4 to 3 hours or till cakes spring back when
touched and a wooden tothpick inserted near the centers comes out
clean. Remove jars from cooker; cool 10 minutes. Unmold cakes; remove
waxed paper. Serve warm or cool with whipped topping, if desired.

The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient Romans used many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and dill. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
