Cake Mix - Homemade

By barbsjustagirl

Did you know you can make your own cake mix?

You can have high quality, delicious tasting cake with the ease and convenience of a box mix.

And it just takes moments to do!

Ingredients

• Dry Ingredients:
• Just assemble your dry ingredients as well as the sugar.
• 2 3/4 cup flour
• 1 3/4 cups SUPER fine sugar (you can buy this or make it)
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• Wet Ingredients for card:
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• 5 egg whites
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. almond extract
• Cream butter - add egg whites one at a time. Add milk, vanilla and almond.
• Mix together, fill 2 8" round cake pans - bake at 350 22-30 minutes.

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together all ingredients and place in mason jar or your chosen storage container. And viola! You have your own cake mix! (This recipe totaled about 4 1/2 cups of dry ingredients, so I used an eight cup mason jar)

You will of course need to add the wet ingredients when you are ready to make your cake.

So I just write what I need to add on a little reminder card.

And don't forget the date! I would probably try and use this within three months. But around here, I usually use at least one jar a week!

Don't forget the instructions!

Feel free to do this with chocolate cake or yellow cake or any cake that suits your fancy.
