How To Make Your Own Homemade Cake Mix
Make your cake baking easier by learning how to make your own homemade cake mix. You won't have to remember to add cake mixes to your grocery list or make a special trip to the grocery store for some when the craving strikes.
My favorite thing about being able to make your own homemade cake mix is that we can control the ingredients so there won't be any preservatives or other scary additives in our cake mix!
While reorganizing my Kitchen Notebook, I ran across some crumpled, stained but beloved recipes. I don't remember where I got most of them, but I sure still use them! What better way to preserve them, than to share them with you here!

- I love to make cake from scratch, but I like to use butter, so if I were to prepare this Homemade Cake Mix, I'd leave out the shortening and use a cube of butter when I got ready to make the cake. I usually cream the butter and sugar first, but it would be really handy to have all the other dry ingredients ready to go. I really should do this.

- Thanks for this lens. I hate buying prepared mixes of any kind because you never really know what they have put in it. I cannot wait to try the brownie mix from this lens, especially!
