Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 0 (for greasing jars) Cooking spray or softened butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 6 clean, 8-ounce mason jars on a baking tray and lightly grease the inside of each jar with cooking spray or softened butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Whisk until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mason jars, filling each jar no more than halfway to allow room for rising.

Step 6

Bake the jars on the tray in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Carefully remove the jars from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking tray for 10-15 minutes. If sealing for storage, screw the jar lids on while the jars are still slightly warm. Otherwise, serve and enjoy immediately once fully cooled.
