Red Velvet Jar Cake



 Red Velvet Jar Cake

Red Velvet Cake In A Jar offers a delightful new way to savor red velvet cake! Featuring strawberry cream cheese frosting, these miniature desserts are not only portable but also perfect for gifting and undeniably charming!

Red Velvet Cake In A Jar
When it comes to Valentine’s Day, the typical gifts often include “diamonds” and “bouquets of red roses.” While these gifts are lovely in a romantic comedy setting, many of us in reality may lack the funds—or the inclination—to present our loved ones with extravagant gemstones or excessively priced flowers.

However, who truly needs those clichés? This Valentine’s Day, I propose we bake our way into the hearts of our loved ones. After all, as the saying goes, cake is a girl’s best friend.

Red Velvet Cake In A Jar 
This Valentine’s Day, I plan to gift these delightful mini Red Velvet Cake Jars, and if I may say so, they are essentially the ideal present for anyone. Their red and pink hues make them perfectly themed for the holiday and suitable for those we cherish.
Yet, they maintain a level of neutrality, allowing you to present them to your child’s teacher or colleagues without any awkward romantic implications. (Perhaps skip the heart-shaped embellishments if you aim for a completely platonic atmosphere.)

The only individuals for whom these treats may not be suitable are those who abstain from desserts, but when you consider it, are those who avoid sugar truly a positive influence in your life? Choose your friends wisely, is all I’m suggesting.

Why Opt for Cake in a Jar?

Undoubtedly, preparing a sheet cake is simpler than putting together individual jars filled with cake and frosting. So, what motivates this extra effort?

Cake in a jar is not only portable but also makes for a delightful gift and is undeniably charming.
Indeed, we achieve the dessert trifecta with this creation! It serves as a wonderful present, is easy to transport (perfect for picnics, perhaps?), and can anything be cuter than these tiny desserts?

I have encountered numerous cake-in-a-jar recipes, yet many require baking the cake directly in glass jars and simply adding frosting on top. The idea of layering cut pieces of cake with frosting is far more enticing to me, as it allows for better control over the amount of cake (and frosting, yum!) that goes into the jar.

For frosting enthusiasts like myself, cake in a jar is arguably the greatest innovation since sliced bread. Hold on, scratch that; cake in a jar is FAR SUPERIOR to mundane sliced bread. It strikes the perfect balance of cake and frosting, which I consider the ideal ratio.

To elevate these jars a bit, I opted for strawberry rose cream cheese frosting instead of the usual cream cheese frosting. This variation is fruity, with a subtle floral note that pairs beautifully with the tangy cream cheese.

The strawberry powder imparts a robust, tangy berry taste and a lovely pink hue, all without the need for food coloring! (However, let’s not get too carried away with self-congratulation, as there is indeed a fair amount of food coloring in the red velvet cake.)

Ingredients for Cake in a Jar

Now, let’s discuss the necessary supplies! I purchased my jars from The Container Store (which I adore!), but there are numerous alternatives available on Amazon, and I have included one example below. Additionally, decorative cups or ramekins can be used if you do not plan to transport them and do not require a lid.

I experimented with two different sizes: 2-ounce jars and 4-ounce jars. I initially thought I would prefer the larger size (because bigger is always better, right?), but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I favored the smaller size.

The small 2-ounce jars serve as the ideal single portion for satisfying that craving for sweetness! By using 4-ounce jars, you can produce approximately 12 jars from the recipe; however, opting for the smaller jars allows for around 20, which translates to more for gifting and more for personal enjoyment!

In the photographs, I filled some jars to the brim, but for gifting purposes, it is advisable to leave some space for securely placing the lid on top. The jars can be adorned with heart-shaped candies, gummies, or simply Valentine’s-themed sprinkles!

Red Velvet Cake In A Jar 

In contrast to cupcakes or even slices of cake, cake in a jar remains fresh for a longer duration, owing to the ample frosting between the layers and the airtight seal of the jar. Therefore, this is an EXCELLENT option for a dessert that can be prepared in advance. I estimate that they can remain good for at least a week, likely closer to two weeks, when stored in the refrigerator; however, to be truthful, ours did not last that long. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
You may prepare these in jars of any size; however, I suggest opting for smaller jars, specifically 2-ounce or 4-ounce containers. If you choose to use 2-ounce jars, you will yield approximately 20 servings, whereas using 4-ounce jars will provide around 12 servings.

Easy Cherry Cobbler Using Box Cake Mix



 Easy Cherry Cobbler Using Box Cake Mix

Cobblers present an excellent fruit dessert alternative that eliminates the need for pie crusts, and I would contend they are even more flavorful. This recipe resembles my Cake Mix Apple Cobbler recipe, but it is simplified further by utilizing canned pie filling.

Although I typically use store-bought cake mix for baking actual cakes, I often incorporate them into recipes like this one, apple cobbler, and Pistachio Bread as a convenient shortcut ingredient. I consider these mixes to be an essential pantry item that can be utilized in numerous ways.

Why You Will Appreciate This Recipe

Straightforward - The use of basic and store-bought ingredients renders this recipe remarkably simple and easy to prepare.

Enjoyable Throughout the Year - The inclusion of canned pie filling enables this dessert to be savored all year long, rather than being restricted to specific fruit seasons.

Tasty - The combination of tartness and sweetness from the cherry filling pairs perfectly with the buttery topping, resulting in a dessert that is guaranteed to delight!

Ingredient Insights

Below are some tips and tricks regarding the ingredients required for this recipe. You can find precise measurements in the recipe card below!

Cherry pie filling - It is essential to select a high-quality canned pie filling, as it is the centerpiece of this dish. An all-natural or no sugar added variety will also suffice. Ensure you use canned pie filling rather than just canned cherries, as the pie filling contains thickening agents necessary for this recipe.

Lemon juice - Canned pie fillings often have a reputation for being excessively sweet. Incorporating some lemon juice will help to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavor of the canned pie filling.

Yellow cake mix - This ingredient imparts a rich, buttery flavor to the cobbler topping. While white cake mix could be an alternative, I prefer the depth of flavor that yellow cake mix provides.

Salted melted butter - This ingredient combines with the cake mix to create an irresistible topping.


Ingredients:

  • 2 cans 21 oz cherry pie filling-undrained
  • 1 pkg. white or yellow cake mix
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 c. nuts (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour cherries in bottom of 9x13 inch pan.

2. Sprinkle dry cake mix (usually around 3/4 of bag is enough) over cherries and do not stir.

3. Pour melted butter over cake mix; sprinkle nuts on top.(optional) Do not mix.

4. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, or until set. Cool. Enjoy the Easy Cherry Cobbler Using Box Cake Mix recipes !!!
