A simple and easy way to make individual servings of dessert that are perfectly portable is baking in a jar, These are super cute and a great way to put up my canning jars for a good use. Baking in jars give you an opportunity to present packaged baked goods to your friends and family. Wrap pretty ribbon around the sealed jars complete with a special card.
You can use any basic cake recipe but I prefer this simple and quick ones. There are so many recipes that can be baked in jars. Vanilla Cake In a Jar is baked with melted butter instead of oil and added just half a cup of sugar, this suits my taste.
This Vanilla Cake In a Jar recipe filled 3 jars of 18-oz, this is the size I had at the moment. By using a 12-oz jar, you could get more than 3 definitely. It is important to use wide mouth canning jars for filling the batter with ease and would slide out easily..
