Can you believe it? I actually made this 4 years ago on 8th Feb 2015. I am still not sure if I am the first to start this mason jarred cake trend way back in 2015. I am not gonna claim any credit tho or maybe I should patent it? Lol! Anyway, while experimenting on crafting the best kek lapis recipe, I noticed that I am lost in time; I didn't post any recipe for the last couple of days. I was browsing thru' my recipes repertoire and found this lovely mason jarred cake recipe.

This idea actually happened by accident. I was gonna do a Valentine's Day special with a 2 layered black forest cake. Being an amateur baker at that time, I literally messed up. I knew I should have measured out 2 equal portions and bake them in separate individual baking pans, but I didn't. And so, I tried slicing the cake into half. You could've imagine a claustrophobic kitchen fail; the cake was sliced so uneven that it looked like slopes. Yes, slopes! Instead of throwing the failed cake away, I tot to myself, why not break the cakes into crumbs and stack them up in a mason jar.

And that's how this cake is born. I love how rustically beautiful it looks (I am definitely not blowing my own horn). Lol! The most important lesson I learnt from this experience is to never give up and always find a way to salvage the mistake. Because you will never know what you will end up. You can of cos make a gorgeous layered black forest cake with this recipe instead of putting everything in a mason jar.
