1 stick plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups granulated sugar, divided

2 cups unsweetened applesauce
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

remaining sugar, vanilla extract and applesauce.Sift dry ingredients together and add to the applesauce mixture a
little at a time, beating well after each addition.Pour one cup batter into each jar and carefully remove any batter
from the rims. Place jars in a preheated 325 degree F oven and bake
for 40 minutes.
carefully add jar lids. Remove pan from heat and keep lids hot until
ready to use. When the cakes have finished baking, remove jars from
oven. Make sure jar rims are clean. If they are not, jars will not
seal correctly. Place lids on jars, and screw rings on tightly. Jars
will seal as they cool. Cakes will slide right out when ready to
serve.Unsealed jars should be stored in the refrigerator and eaten within 2
weeks. Sealed jars may be stored with other canned food or placed in
a freezer. The cake is safe to eat as long as the jar remains vacuum
sealed and free from mold. Use all canned cakes within 6 months.
