Mason Jars seem to be a rare item in my house; they're so handy that they get used up almost immediately and I'm left searching for another on what seems like a weekly basis.

 

With them being so trendy, the cost of the jars have gone up, making kitchen storage a little more expensive.

 

I guess I'll just have to stalk the dollar stores and hope they get them back in stock!

 

Otherwise, not too impressed with this recipe, but I'll post it, even though I wouldn't recommend it.

 

Recipe:

 

Ingredients:

1 ¼ cup of flour

¼ teaspoon of baking soda

½ teaspoon of baking powder

½ teaspoon of salt

½ cup of sugar

½ teaspoon of vanilla

½ can of sweetened condensed milk

⅓ cup of milk

1 beaten egg

⅓ cup of melted butter

1 tablespoon of cocoa powder

 

Directions:

01. Preheat oven to 325. Grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray or parchment paper.

02. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a medium bowl.

03. Add the vanilla, sweetened condensed milk, milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir until just combined.

04. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, reserving about ½ cup of the batter.

05. Mix the cocoa powder with the remaining ½ cup batter and stir until combined.

06. Pour the chocolate batter over the regular batter and marble with the tip of a knife. (I failed at this part, but I doubt that changes the taste)

07. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

 

Hopefully the taste is better for you; I had to keep mine in the oven an extra 10 minutes and I think that messed with the consistency.

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.
