Valentine's Day Cake Jars: Red Velvet and Strawberry Shortcake! | DIY Valentine's Day Gifts

Valentine's Day is NEXT WEEK! Can’t believe it’s here already! I wanted to make something small and cute to give away to my family and friends, so I made these adorable little cake jars! I made both red velvet and strawberry shortcake! And both taste great! If you don’t want to make these from scratch, you can always use box cake for these as well!

*RECIPES*
Red Velvet Cake:

3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
2 1/4 cups Sugar
3 Eggs, at room temperature
1 container Red No-Taste Gel Colour
3 cups Flour
2 Tablespoons Cocoa
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons Cider Vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the inside of your bowl with parchment paper.
2. Place butter, oil, sugar, and vanilla in bowl of an electric mixer and beat at medium speed until well-blended.
3. Whisk flour, cocoa, and salt into a bowl and set aside.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time. With machine on low, add red gel food coloring.
5. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, starting with the flour (flour, buttermilk, flour, buttermilk, flour..). Beat long enough to combine.
6. Place baking soda in a small dish, stir in vinegar and add to batter with machine running.
7. Pour your batter into prepared pans, place in oven and bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool.
8. If this isn’t your style, just use a boxed cake. :)

Cream Cheese Icing:
5 cups icing sugar
1 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
16 ounces (2 boxes philidephia cream cheese, 2 cups)
1 tsp vanilla extract
