This oreo cake in a jar recipe is so fun and great individual serving desserts. Cake in the jar is also a really perfect gift for those in your life with an enormous sweet tooth!

Mason jars double so well as cake jars! Canning jars can be filled with so many different types of cake like red velvet cake, birthday cake, strawberry shortcake, rainbow cakes and so many other different kinds of cakes.

These cake jars are the perfect treat for a summer picnic. You can get super creative and grab your favorite cake and toppings and go to work.

For this recipe you can either make your own cake (check out this recipe for moist vanilla cakes) or use a box cake mix for this fun mini dessert. Some of my favorite inclusions are chocolate chips, cream cheese frosting, fresh strawberries, chocolate ganache, vanilla frosting and so much more. Not all at once of course but the possibilities are endless.

What ingredients do I need for this awesome jar cakes?

Pre-baked Cake

Buttercream frosting of your choosing

Sprinkles, jam, cookies, or other fillings

Mason Jars 

It’s one of those easy recipes that you can make again and again. It’s a fun way to make individual servings of desserts in fun flavors. The cake layers can be as big or as small as you would like them, just make sure the top of the jars have a wide opening to fit everything in.

Some folks like to cut circles of cake, then put a layer of frosting and caramel sauce. If you are serving this during the holiday season a wonderful way to make it festive is to add red and green sprinkles!

This will be the star of the birthday parties in this fun and new way to serve desserts. Filling the inside of each jar is the best part. You could even get creative and use food coloring or ice cream if you are serving right away. It’s one of those simple recipes that can be made again and again in different ways and different colors.
