If you are a fan of Vegemite and have a sweet tooth, you will be delighted to know that you can now make a Vegemite jar cake. This delicious dessert combines the love for chocolate cakes with red, white, and blue buttercream and fondant. It is the perfect cake to showcase your passion for Vegemite and satisfy your craving for something sweet.

To make this Vegemite jar cake, you will need a few key ingredients and tools. First and foremost, you will require a moist chocolate cake recipe.

Once your chocolate cake is ready, you will need to cut it into the shape of a jar. Start by baking the cake in a rectangular baking pan. Then, use a jar-shaped template or a steady hand to carefully carve the cake into the desired shape. Make sure to save any leftover cake trimmings as they will come in handy later.

Next, it's time to prepare the buttercream frosting. Divide the buttercream into three portions and color one portion red, one portion white, and leave the remaining portion as it is. Start by spreading a layer of red buttercream on the bottom of the cake to represent the jar's lid.

Then, cover the rest of the cake with the white buttercream to resemble the glass jar.

Now comes the fun part - making the Vegemite label. Roll out some fondant and cut it into a rectangle. Use black food coloring to write "Vegemite" on the fondant, imitating the font and design of the original jar label. Attach the label to the front of the cake using a little bit of water or edible glue.

To add the finishing touch, use the leftover cake trimmings to create a thick paste. This will represent the actual Vegemite inside the jar. You can spread it out evenly on a plate and carefully transfer it onto the top part of the cake.

Use a spoon or a offset spatula to smoothen the paste and create a realistic look.

Once your Vegemite jar cake is complete, proudly present it to your friends and family.

So why not give it a try and indulge in this unique dessert that pays homage to the beloved Australian spread?
