Description

Celebrate Halloween with these fun and festive Witches Brew Halloween Cake Jars. Layered with moist green-tinted chocolate cake and creamy vanilla frosting, topped with spooky sprinkles, these individual dessert jars are perfect for parties or a seasonal treat. Easy to make and visually impressive, they deliver the perfect balance of chocolatey richness and sweet vanilla goodness in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 drops green food coloring

Frosting and Decorations

  • 1 cup vanilla frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup Halloween-themed sprinkles (e.g., gummy worms, candy eyes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and melted unsalted butter until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add color and bake: Add 5 drops of green food coloring to the batter, mixing until you achieve the desired green hue. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before proceeding.
  3. Crumble cake and assemble jars: Once cooled, crumble the cake into small pieces. In serving jars, layer the crumbled cake and vanilla frosting alternately until jars are filled to the top.
  4. Decorate: Finish by topping each jar with additional frosting and sprinkling Halloween-themed decorations such as gummy worms or candy eyes for a spooky touch.
  5. Chill and serve: Place the assembled jars in the refrigerator to chill before serving. This helps the layers to set and enhances the flavor combination.

Notes

  • Use a good-quality chocolate cake mix for the best flavor.
  • If desired, make homemade vanilla frosting from scratch for a fresher taste.
  • Layering the cake and frosting carefully helps create a visually appealing effect in the jars.
  • These jars can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Feel free to customize the decorations depending on your Halloween theme or preferences.
