I want to send it to my boy in Afghanistan but it takes about a month to get there.

My husbands birthday is June 30th and I really want to send him a cake too!!! INGREDIENTS: 3/4 cup butter, softened 3 cups white sugar 4 eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 cups unsweetened applesauce 3 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Wash 8 (pint) straight sided, wide mouth canning jars in hot soapy water. Rinse well, dry and let them come to room temperature. Grease insides of jar well. In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter with half of the butter until fluffy. Add eggs and remaining sugar and beat in. Add vanilla and applesauce and combine. Add the flour mixture in three increments, mixing well after each addition. Pour 1 cup of batter into each jar and carefully remove any batter from the rims. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 40 minutes. While cakes are baking, sterilize lids and rings by boiling them in a saucepan of water. Keep them in the hot water until ready to use. When the cakes have finished baking, remove jars from oven. Make sure jar rims are clean. (If they're not, jars will not seal correctly). While jars are still hot, place lids on jars, and screw rings on tightly. Jars will seal as they cool. Place the jars on the counter and listen for them to "ping" as they seal. If you miss the "ping", wait until they are completely cool and press on the top of the lid. If it doesn't move at all, it's sealed. Unsealed jars should be stored in the refrigerator and eaten within 2 weeks. Sealed jars may be placed in a freezer. I will let you know how it turns out!! Good luck and God Bless Our Troops!!! <3 Proud Army Wife Jamie Posted on 06/08/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Shipping a Cake Overseas By Margie Minard (Guest Post) If you need more help in shipping food overseas, try contacting your local county extension service. They can help with just about anything you can think up in that area and unless you need a special book or something, it should be free of charge.

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add well-beaten eggs and blend well. Sift remaining flour and baking powder together; fold into egg and butter mixture. Add vanilla and lemon extracts; mix well; then add fruits and nuts, blending in well. Grease a 10-inch tube pan. Line with greased wax paper (a paper grocery bag will do as well) and grease again. Pour batter into prepared pan. Place in cold oven and bake at 250° for 3 hours. Cool pan on cake rack. Makes 5 pounds of cake. This cake may be cut the day after it is baked, or may be wrapped in plastic wrap (to prevent freezer burn) and then aluminum foil and frozen for a year without losing its flavor. It is advisable to allow cake to mellow before freezing, because a cake will not mellow in a frozen state. The cake is also mailable.

While he was there he received several packages from family especially his birthday. What his mother and I tried is a "cookie cake"--you know the type like you see at the mall. Just a very HUGE cookie. Again chocolate doesn't travel well at all; to many temperature changes between here and there. You can try another flavor, and include a tube of the cake decorating gel and she can write on it, or someone else can do it for her. My nephew loved the idea, and also they guys that served with him enjoyed the treats. I know he sure needed the packages that we send him there was times when that was what he and his friends ate! Hope this helps.
