  • 1/4 cup vanilla-caramel liquid creamer
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons caramel sauce

Steps

  • 1
    White Chocolate Ganache Frosting: Pour chopped white chocolate, 1/4 cup creamer, and heavy whipping cream into a microwave-safe bowl.
  • 2
    Heat on High for 1 minute. Remove and fold 10 times.

    Let sit for 3 minutes, then fold 10 more times.
  • 4
    Return to microwave and heat for 30 seconds.
  • 5
    Let bowl sit in microwave for 3 minutes. Remove and stir slowly until melted.
  • 6
    If needed, heat for 10-second increments, stirring after each, until melted.
  • 7
    Press a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the white chocolate ganache and allow it to cool at room temperature for 3 hours. Meanwhile, bake cakes.
  • 8
    Cakes: Preheat oven to 350º F. Spray 14 mini Mason jars with baking spray. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

    Divide batter evenly among the 14 mini Mason jars.

    Set jars on a baking sheet. Place on centre rack in oven then carefully pour boiling water into pan, filling it about 3/4- inch high. Do not spill water into jars.
  • 12
    Bake until cakes are golden brown and spring back when pressed lightly, 20-24 minutes.
  • 13
    Remove jars from water and set on a cooling rack. Allow cakes to cool completely.
  • 14
    Cut the domed tops off each cake. Peel plastic wrap off the white chocolate ganache.

    Beat ganache with an electric mixer for 10-15 seconds, just until it becomes fluffy. Pour ganache into a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
