Red Velvet Jar is a creative way to present the red velvet cake in individual jars, a fun, transportable, and beautiful dessert perfect for parties and picnic outings. With its bright red colour, velvety texture, and cream cheese frosting, this dessert promises to be one that will never be overlooked at parties or any celebration. The moistness of the layers of red velvet cake, done with creamy frosting, makes for the most heavenly experience with every bite. The red velvet jar recipe starts with making the red velvet cake. Mix dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, butter, eggs, buttermilk, and a hint of red food colouring to get that defining deep red colour. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, add a little splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Once the batter is smooth, bake the mixture until fully cooked in a preheated oven, and check for cleanness when poked with a toothpick. Let the cake cool completely and crumble into small pieces; layer these small crumbs into mason jars or any small glass container. In between layers of cakes, spoon generous amounts of cream cheese frosting for that perfect contrast of tangy and sweet. Repeat the layering until the jar is filled. The red velvet jar may be decorated with coloured sprinkles or chocolate shavings for added flair. This red velvet jar recipe is easy to assemble and is best served individually, making the dish fun.
