Chocolate Cake In A Jar Recipe with Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting

Howdy Folks!! Missed you last week!! Due to my frantic lifestyle, I needed to make some posting schedule changes so that I could have more time for some good ole R&R on the weekends (to enjoy this chocolate cake in a jar recipe ? ).

Chocolate Cake In A Jar Recipe with Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting

This recipe was actually born out of a recipe failure. I was using my Jumbo Chocolate Muffins recipe to make cupcakes like my German Chocolate Surprise Cupcakes. I decided to use slightly larger cupcake liners and then the bottom fell out. These tasty cupcakes rose so much that they ran into some of the empty cupcake wells. Lol!!! Yikes!!! Needless to say I couldn’t use them. So this chocolate cake in a jar recipe was born. They are perfectly moist and the vanilla bean buttercream frosting makes a nice touch. Think of soft Oreos in a jar!!! Yeah! That’s it!! Who doesn’t love a good Oreo?

Well, I’m looking forward to some much needed rest and relaxation on the weekends in the next coming months. It’s important for us to take some time to rest and recharge ourselves so that we can be better instruments for the Kingdom of God. We simply cannot be everything to everyone at all times. His Word says, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:28-29 (KJV).  Spending more time in God’s presence will allow rest for the weary and fullness of joy! ? Say Grace and enjoy!!
