Cake Mix - Homemade
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.
