Ingredients
- 5 oz Vanilla Cake (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 oz Frosting (vanilla or flavored)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather your vanilla cake, frosting, and sprinkles. Ensure the cake is completely cooled for easy layering.
- Layer the cake: Crumble a portion of the vanilla cake into the bottom of a clean jar. Aim for about a third of the jar filled with cake.
- Add frosting: Spoon a layer of frosting on top of the cake crumbles. Use a small spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle some fun: If using, sprinkle some colorful sprinkles over the frosting layer for added texture and color.
- Repeat layers: Continue layering with more cake, frosting, and sprinkles until the jar is filled to your desired level.
- Seal and chill: Once filled, seal the jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy within two weeks, or freeze for up to six months for a longer shelf life.
Notes
Choose wide mouth jars for easy layering. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
