Vanilla whipped cream, fresh strawberries and blueberries, and deliciously moist Vanilla Almond Cake all in your own jar or cup.  Each adorable &quot;cake-in-a-jar&quot; will make a festive individual treat for your Fourth of July Party.You can layer these creamy Red, White, and Blueberry Cake Parfaits in 8-oz Mason Jars and tie them with a wooden disposable spoon and some red twine.   You can also make them as &quot;On-the-Go&quot; cups--just layer the cake in a 9-oz plastic cup with a lid and a plastic spoon--perfect for a picnic or party in the park.

Red, White, and Blueberry Cake Parfaits

around 2 1/2 cups crumbled Vanilla Almond Cake ((or use

Fresh Blueberries

Fresh Strawberries

Lemon

Tbsp instant clearjel ((see note for substitution))

Powdered Sugar

Tbsp Instant Clearjel ((optional, used to thicken and stabilize))

Heavy Whipping Cream

tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Using your hands, crumble the baked Vanilla Almond Cake into small pieces.  It should be around 2 1/2 cups crumbled cake.  (You can make this cake from a 1x batch of my Vanilla Almond Cake (Mix &amp; Match Recipe).  You&#39;ll only use half of the 1/4 sheet cake you bake in six jars/cups (a 1x batch of this recipe), and you&#39;ll use all the 1/4 sheet cake in 12 jars (a 2x batch of this recipe).

Crumble the Cake

Place sliced Strawberries and Blueberries in separate medium-sized bowls, and slightly smash the berries using the base of a sturdy cup.  (You could also use a fork for this).  We still want there to be the texture of the whole and sliced berries, but by smashing them we are creating some added juiciness to our filling.

Pour 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice and 2 Tbsp Sugar on top of each bowl of berries.  Stir and allow to sit for 10 minutes.  This will macerate the berries (softens them and brings out more juices).

Whisk 3 Tbsp Sugar and 3 Tbsp Instant Clearjel together.  (See note #1)

Divide the Sugar/Instant Clearjel mixture evenly on top of each bowl of macerated berries. (3 Tbsp Sugar mixture per berry bowl).  Mix thoroughly.  Berries will thicken instantly and a little more as they set.  Taste each bowl of berries at this point.  If they are too tart for your liking, you can add a little more sugar as needed.  (Since fresh berries vary in sweetness, the sugar may be adjusted to taste.  I like for my fruit fillings to be slightly tart since they will be layered with sweet cake and whipped cream).

Prepare Fruit Fillings

Whisk the Powdered Sugar and Instant Clearjel (if using) together. (See note # 1)

Using a whip attachment and a stand mixer (preferred) or handheld mixer, whip the Heavy Cream and Pure Vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Turn the mixer on low, and slowly add in the Powdered Sugar/ Instant Clearjel mixture until incorporated. The Instant Clearjel will thicken the whipped cream instantly, which is why we want to make sure the whipped cream is nicely whipped and fluffy before we add in our thickener.

Make Vanilla Whipped Cream

Layer the cake, fruit filling, and whipped cream in around equal parts between 6 jars/cups.  There should be enough room for 3 layers of each (cake, fruit filling, and whipped cream x 3 in each jar).  Alternate the strawberry and blueberry filling as you fill the jars so that there are two layers of blueberry and one middle layer of strawberry or vice versa.

I used Disposable Piping Bags with the ends cut off to squeeze in the berry fillings and a 1M star tip for the whipped cream.  You could also just spoon in your fillings and whipped cream.

As you fill them, keep an eye on the sides of the jars/cups, piping or spooning against the sides as needed for the prettiest-looking layers.

Tie a disposable wooden spoon on the Mason Jars with twine.  Or stick a plastic spoon in the cup version, and top with a plastic lid, using the straw hole to keep the plastic spoon in place.

Keep refrigerated until serving.  Enjoy!
