Instructions
Grease two 1-pint straight-sided wide-mouth canning jars; line the bottom of each jar with waxed paper. Set aside.
In a small bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon, if desired. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine margarine, water, and cocoa powder; heat and stir until margarine is melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat; stir in flour mixture. Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla; beat by hand until smooth. Stir in nuts. Pour mixture into the prepared canning jars. Cover the jars tightly with greased foil. (Place greased-side down on each jar). Place jars in a 3-1/2, 4, 5, or 6-quart crockery cooker with liner in place. Cover; cook on high heat setting for 2-3/4 to 3 hours or until cakes spring back when touched and a long wooden tooth-pick inserted near the centers comes out clean. Remove jars from cooker; cool 10 minutes. Unmold cakes; remove waxed paper. Serve warm or cool withice cream.

Use only CANNING JARS for this recipe. Others may not be tempered to withstand the heat. Do NOT use coffee or vegetable cans as most contain lead and are painted or sealed with materials that may give off toxic gases when heated.
