  Comments: Any quick bread type cake can be baked in canning jars. The cakes stay fresh and moist for several months. Use jars that are wide mouth. They must be straight on the inside with no irregularities. Always use NEW lids. The jars must be greased well. Do not use PAM or any such cooking spray.
