CAKE IN A JAR: Why? You're asking. Cake in a jar is soo good, and its great to make for party favors. You'll love itt, and there are SO many different ways to make them.
#1. RAiNBOW CAKE iN A JAR♥
1 box white cake mix made according to package instructions
Neon food coloring in pink, yellow, green, turquoise, and purple
3 one-pint canning jars
1 can vanilla frosting
Rainbow sprinkles
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thoroughly wash and dry the inside of each canning jar. Spray the inside of each jar thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Scoop about 1/2 cups of cake batter into five small bowls. It doesn’t have to be perfect, don’t panic if you get a little more of less of one color than another. Tint each bowl of cake batter with the food coloring until very vibrant.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the purple batter into the bottom of each jar. Spoon equal amounts of turquoise batter, then green, yellow, and pink. Place the jars in a shallow baking dish, add about 1/4″ in water in the baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 4O-45 minutes.
Remove jars and allow to cool completely before scooping a small portion from the top of your cake and adding a hefty dollop of vanilla buttercream to the top. Sprinkle & serve, or cover with a lid and store in the fridge, they'll last for about three days or so.
#2. RED VELVET AND NUTELLA CAKE iN A JAR♥
1 Box Red Velvet Cake Mix, prepared according to package directions
1/2 cup Nutella
1 jar cream cheese frosting
3 pint-sized canning jars
Thoroughly wash and dry the inside of each canning jar. Spray the inside of each jar thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Stir the red food coloring into the prepared cake batter. Spoon about 1 cup of cake batter into each jar. Cook one jar at a time in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through. Allow jars to cool slightly, then scoop the top half of cake from the jar. Spoon a tablespoon or so of Nutella into the center of the jar, top with a dollop of cream cheese frosting, then replace the top half of the cake back in the jar, add another layer of Nutella, then enough frosting to fill the rest of the jar.
Serve immediately or cover with a lid and store in the fridge or pop into the mail & surprise someone you love! Cakes should stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days, and can be mailed so long as they are topped with a canning jar lid and arrive at their final destination within 3 days.

#5. NEAPOLiTAN CAKE iN A JAR♥
24 8-ounce canning jars
Chocolate Cake Batter
Strawberry Cake Batter
Vanilla Cake Batter
Chocolate Buttercream
Vanilla Buttercream
Strawberry Buttercream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of the canning jars with canola oil. Scoop 2 tablespoons of each flavor cake batter into the jars one at a time to create layers. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until center of the cake springs back when touched. Remove from oven and top with rings and lids. The jars will pop and seal as the cakes cool. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
To frost I used Katie’s technique for two-tone frosting, place all three frostings in three different piping bags. Cut the tips off and then place the three bags into one larger bag fitted with a large-sized tip. Then pipe frosting onto cakes before serving.
Makes 24 cupcakes when you use approximately 1/2 the cake batter for each of the 3 cakes flavors.

#7. CHOCOLATE PUDDiNG CAKE iN A JAR♥
Cake:
1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour

2 tsp. (10 mL) baking powder
1/4 tsp. (1 mL) salt
1/2 cup (125 mL) milk

Topping:
1/2 cup (125 mL) packed brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 6 jars or ramekins with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Add the milk, oil and vanilla and stir until smooth. Divide the batter between the jars or ramekins, spreading it into the bottom.
To make the topping, stir together the sugar and cocoa and sprinkle it over the batter, dividing it between the jars. Pour about 3 Tbsp. of boiling water over each (I find this easiest by pouring boiling water from a kettle into a 1/4 cup measure, filling it about 3/4 full, then pouring it overtop of each cake), but don’t stir them! Place the pudding cakes on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, until they appear done and the sauce is bubbly. Serve warm, preferably with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Serves 6.
