Critical Success Points

  • Beating eggs and sugar until pale (Step 2) creates the cake’s airy texture.
  • Folding in dry ingredients gently (Step 4) prevents over‑development of gluten.
  • Ensuring the water level stays just below the jar lids during cooking (Step 7).

Safety Warnings

  • The water bath and jars become extremely hot; use oven mitts or tongs.
  • Do not let the water boil vigorously, which could cause the jars to crack.
