Easy Valentine's Day Red Velvet Cake In A Jar
This easy Valentine's Day Red Velvet Cake In A Jar recipe is a great Valentine's Day dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake, prepared
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles
- 6 wide-mouth pint jars
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Line a 10x16 inch baking sheet with parchment paper and grease the sides of the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spread the cake batter evenly over the pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely, then use a 2 ½ inch round cookie cutter to cut out the cake. Each jar will need three round pieces of cake.
- To prepare the icing, beat together the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and butter until smooth and well combined. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
- Place one cake round in the bottom of each jar.
- Use a piping bag to pipe a layer of icing on top of the cake. Continue layering cake and icing until the jar is full. Repeat the process with the remaining jars.
- Top each jar with sprinkles, if desired.
