* 1 cup water
* 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
* 3 Large Eggs
* 1 cup Seedless Raspberry Jam
.

FROSTING
. * 1 stick Butter
* 8 oz. Cream Cheese
* 2 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
* Black Food Coloring Gel

INSTRUCTIONS
. 
1.  Preheat oven to 350°F. Fill muffin tins with cupcake liners. .
2. In a mixer blend cake mix, water, oil and eggs for a few minutes. .
3.  Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full of cake batter. .
4.  Bake 19-23 minutes. When a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, your cake is done. Cool 10 minutes. .
5.  Make frosting by whipping butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy. .
6.  Add one drop of black food coloring and 1-2 drops of pink food coloring. Keep adding drops until you get a yucky grayish pink color of brains. .
7. Assemble your brains in a jar cake by placing a cupcake inside of a half pint mason jar. .
8.  Add a large spoonful of raspberry jam over the cake, covering the surface and making sure it reaches the edges of the jar. .
9.  Put some frosting in a piping bag with a no. 5 round tip Hold the bag at a 90 degree angle and squiggle the frosting along the edges of the jar. It doesn't have to be perfect, just squeeze and make a zig zag motion along the inside of the glass. .
10.  Cut small pieces of another cupcake and place in the center of the "brain frosting". .
11.  Holding the piping bag at a 90 degree angle again, loosely squeeze frosting all over the top of the cake. .
12. Place lid on the jar and add the Brains in a Jar Printable Tags and serve.
