Ingredients

1	cup	margarine	softened
3	cups	sugar	granulated
4	large	eggs	whipped
1	tablespoon	vanilla extract
1	teaspoon	almond extract
2	cups	applesauce	at room temperature
3	cups	flour, unbleached all-purpose
3/4	cup	cocoa powder	sifted
1	teaspoon	baking soda
1/2	teaspoon	baking powder
1/8	teaspoon	salt

Directions

Preheat oven at 325 degrees F.

Place a baking sheet onto middle rack and remove top rack from oven.

Before starting batter, wash 8 (1 pint) wide mouth canning jars with lids in hot soapy water and let drain, dry, and cool to room temperature.

Generously prepare jars with margarine.

In a mixing bowl, combine margarine, sugar, eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and applesauce.

In another mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients just until moistened.

Spoon 1 level cupful of batter into each jar.

Carefully wipe rims clean, then place jars on baking sheet (or they'll tip over) in the center of oven.

Bake 40 minutes. Keep lids in hot water until they're used.

When cakes are done, remove jars which are HOT from oven one at a time.

If rims need cleaning, use moistened paper towel.

Carefully put lids and rings in place, then screw tops on tightly shut.

Place jars on a wire rack; they will seal as they cool.

Naturally Sweet Pineapple Muffins

The texture was pretty good. Without adding any sugar, it was just missing something. I like to eat muffins just as they are, but you got to serve them with butter and jam or something. Otherwise, just tasteless.
