Rainbow Cake in a Jar
Ingredients
1 box white cake, plus ingredients called for on the box
Food coloring: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue & purple
Vanilla frosting (canned or homemade)
6 8oz clear jars
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, fill a 13x9 baking dish with 3/4 cup water, set aside
Spray jars well with nonstick cooking spray
Prepare cake batter according to box instructions
Separate the batter equally into six bowls (approx 2/3 cup of batter in each bowl
Use your six different food colors to tint each bowl of batter a different color
Fill each jar with approx 2 tablespoons of each of the colored batters. Wipe any access batter from the rim. After wiping, if needed, re-spray the area with non stick cooking spray
Place batter filled jars into baking dish that has been filled with water
Bake 25-30 minutes or until tops are set
Let cakes cool for 15 minutes, then, remove from pan
Cool completely before frosting
Note: Be sure not to fill your jars past the rim with batter. It may look like you don't have much batter in them, but, once baked, it will rise. It will still leave plenty of room for frosting
