• 1/3 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 4 large eggs
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Mason Jars
• Whipped Cream
• Colour Mill Oil Blend - Fuchsia, Melon, Kiwi, Mango

• Preheat oven to 170C/350F.
• Grease four 6-8” inch cake pans generously with baking spray and set aside.

• Add flour, baking powder & salt in a large bowl & set aside.
• Using a mixer, cream together the butter, oil & sugar for 2-3 minutes.
• Add sour cream & continue mixing until it is fluffy & starts to look white. Now add vanilla extract & eggs one at a time beating well between each addition.
• Add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) & mix until combined followed by the milk.

• Now the batter is ready, divide it into 4 bowls & add a few drops of each colour to each bowl - Fuchsia, Melon, Kiwi and Mango.
• Mix until fully incorporated.
• Now fill each cake pan with one coloured batter each.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted & comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely on a wire rack.

• While the cake cools, colour your whipped cream.
• Divide each filling into 4 bowls & colour each with the same colours - Fuchsia, Melon, Kiwi and Mango.

• Use a cookie cutter roughly around the same size as your mason jar to cut out cake layers.
• For each mason jar use the same colour of filling and cake to stuff them with.
• Start with cake layer, whipped cream, cake layer and whipped cream.
• Repeat with each colour until you have all four jars complete.
• Top each jar with a matching coloured topping like strawberries, macrons, Nila wafers etc.
• Eat and enjoy!
