Homemade Yellow Cake Mix

A delicious do-it-yourself version of store-bought box mixes.
Author Amy Roberts | Raising Arrows

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup non-fat powdered milk
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Measure out ingredients into a plastic storage bag and label with instructions. If putting in the freezer for long-term storage, be sure you are using a freezer bag and consider double bagging. However, this mix will last quite a while in the cupboard.
  • BAKING INSTRUCTIONS:
    To make into a cake, mix together cake mix, ¾ c. water, 1 tsp vanilla, ½ c. softened butter, and 3 eggs. Pour into 2 greased and floured 8" or 9" round cake pans. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Adjust time if using a different kind of pan.
  • TO USE AS A CAKE MIX TOPPING: (like on my Pumpkin Crumble Cake)
    Follow the directions on your recipe as you would for making a topping from a boxed cake mix.
