Homemade Cake Mix Variations
Ingredients
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the baking dish by coating it with a thin layer of grease and then dusting it evenly with flour, covering the entire surface.
3
For a classic Yellow Cake, begin by combining the dry ingredients of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing vessel. Using a sifting motion, gently blend these ingredients together until they are well incorporated.
4
Then, incorporate the shortening into the dry mixture using a cutting action until it reaches a fine crumbly consistency.
5
After that, introduce the milk, eggs, and vanilla into the mixture, blending them together until they form a cohesive batter.
6
Using an electric mixer, gradually increase the speed to low and beat the mixture for 1 minute, then shift to high speed and continue beating for an additional 2 minutes. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl frequently during this process.
7
Finally, pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured baking dish.
8
To ensure the cake is cooked to perfection, bake it in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
9
To verify that the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake and check if it comes out clean.
