Cake in a Jar is a delightful layered dessert that combines moist cake with creamy frosting, all beautifully presented in a jar.

Scale

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if making a chocolate variant), baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
Once cooled, crumble the cake into bite-sized pieces, or cut it into layers and carefully start layering in jars. Begin with a layer of cake, followed by a layer of frosting. Repeat the process until the jars are filled, topping with a final dollop of frosting and desired toppings.
Place the assembled jars in the refrigerator for a few hours (if possible) to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
