recipe: rainbow jar cake.


Okay guys, it was Erika's birthday the other day and I decided I would make her a yummy cake. 
And what makes a yummy cake even better? A rainbow, yummy cake. 
And what makes a rainbow, yummy cake better?
A rainbow, yummy cake in a jar. 

That's right, a rainbow jar cake. Better believe it.

It turned out wonderfully and she loved it. So since it was such a hit and it is so freakin' cute I decided I would give you guys the recipe. So here ya go! 



Ingrediants

  • 1 Betty Crocker Super Moist white cake mix
  • 1 Tub Betty Crocker Whipped Ready to Spread white frosting
  • 3 egg whites (for cake mix)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (for cake mix)
  • 1 1/4 cup water (for cake mix)
  • Betty Crocker NEON food colors in neon pink, neon blue and neon purple
  • Regular food colors in yellow, green, red and blue
  • 4 (1-quart) jars. ( I used one jar and used the rest of the batter in a bread pan, though.)
  • Non-stick cooking spray





Directions


1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2: Make the cake batter according to the jar.
3: Divide the batter into 5 bowls.


4: Add your selected colors!



5: Then pour about a forth of a cup of each color batter in layers in the jar. (Make sure to spray it with cooking spray before hand though!)
6: Place the jars in a glass pan that is filled with 1/4 inch of water.
7: Bake for 45-50 minutes. (When the cakes are done they should spring back to the touch)


8: Let it cool completely, then add icing and pretty sprinkles! 



And there you have it! So cute, right? (But make sure to wipe off the batter inside the jar, I kind of forgot, but it still turned out cute!)


Here's the other cake, if you were interested in that. 




Isn't it so pretty?! I'm thinking about making a red and green one for Christmas!

  6. that is so interesting! i am still imagining how you eat the cake at the bottom of the jar! i guess a really big spoon or a rubber spatula would work. and eating cake with a spatula is the best!

  11. Haha. That's awesome. I too am wondering how exactly to eat it. Plus, if it were me I'd be adding extra frosting as I went to keep the ratio 'equal'. :)
