From Sarah Lipoff, POPSUGAR Food
INGREDIENTS
- For the cake
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons multicolored sprinkles
- 8 pint mason jars
- For the frosting
- 2 cups whipped cream, handmade or store brand
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Additional multicolored sprinkles
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350˚F.
Follow the box directions for making the cake batter, then add the multicolored sprinkles to the mix. Pour into a greased 13-by-9-inch baking pan and bake 23-28 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
To make the frosting, use a hand mixer to combine the whipped cream, cream cheese, and vanilla. Chill in the fridge.
To assemble, use a round cookie cutter just smaller than the mouth of the mason jar to cut rounds from the sheet cake. Place a spoonful of the whipped cream cheese frosting at the base of the mason jar, top with some multicolored sprinkles, then with a round of the funfetti cake. Repeat the layer, finishing with more frosting and sprinkles.
