Okay, so I've been waiting to do this post for forever (I wanted to wait until after he received his package to post about it)! Will's birthday was on July 6th so I mailed him his birthday package a week prior.
I wanted to make Will's birthday a special event since he is deployed and away from home. I thought long and hard and finally decided to make him Cake in a Jar!
If you haven't heard of Cake in a Jar, it's super easy. I've laid out the instructions (complete with pictures) below. Enjoy!!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sterilize mason jars and lids by boiling in water. Remove jars but leave lids in the hot water.
- Prepare cake batter either according to box instructions or from cake recipe.
- Spray the inside of pint size mason jars with Pam before filling with 1 cup of cake batter (keep rims of jars clean).
- Place jars on a cookie sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- When the cake is done, take one jar out at a time. Place the hot lids onto the jar and let cool.
- As the jars cool, you should hear a 'ping'. To make sure the jars have sealed, press down on the lids. If they don't move, the jars have sealed.
- Enjoy when ready!
