Ingredients for 15 servings:

• 350 g margarine
• 250 g sugar

• 300 g flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Cherry(s) or other fruit from jar or fresh
• Chocolate

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

baked in a jar

Beat the margarine and sugar until fluffy, add the vanilla sugar, lemon juice, and eggs. Gradually add the flour mixed with the baking powder. Stir, stir, stir… for about 5-10 minutes. I then put the batter in a bag and use it to press the first layer of batter into the jar, then add the cherries (I take them from the jar) with a little juice, half a piece of chocolate, the next layer of batter, and continue like this until the jar is half full. If I fill it more than that, I’ve had problems with it overflowing the jar. So I always spread the batter in the jar with a fork, which gets a bit more air in and makes it nice and fluffy. With our strange oven, I set it at 150°C. Small jars take about 15-20 minutes. Large jars 25-30 minutes. It also tastes really delicious with apples.
