Hi Bold Bakers!
Box cakes are so simple to use because all you do is combine the pack of dry cake mix with some wet ingredients. What could be easier? I’ll tell you what, my Homemade Cake Mix! And just like box cake you just need to add liquid. It’s time to start thinking outside of the box cake and start to look at what is actually in the cakes that you are eating.
How to Make Homemade Cake Mix
In the pretty box of cake mix there is everything but the kitchen sink. You probably don’t know or can’t pronounce half of the stuff that goes in there. However there’s a new kid in town, my Homemade Cake Mix. Made with pronounceable ingredients like flour and salt it is better for you than store bought and the final results are second to none. You’ll just combine flour, both white and brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix my Dry Cake Mix with some simple ingredients like eggs, oil and buttermilk to yield you a beautifully soft and fluffy cake. This eliminates the need to ever use store-bought boxed cake again. And it lasts for 2 months in the cupboard until you need to whip up a cake in a snap.

Prep Time 20 minutes mins

Never buy box cake mix again when you make my Homemade Cake Mix and just add a few wet ingredients to create one of the best cakes you'll ever enjoy!
