Homemade White Cake Mix Subtitute 1825oz Betty Crocker Box Recipes

HOMEMADE WHITE CAKE MIX (SUBTITUTE 18.25OZ BETTY CROCKER BOX)

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients. Store in a sealed, labeled container or baggie with the directions to make the cake. (This mix will fit in a quart-size baggie, just barely.) If you want to double, triple, or more the mix to make in bulk and keep it all in one big container, stir the mix well and measure out 5 cups of mix each time you make a cake (or a bit more if you used cake flour).
• To replace in recipes calling for a store-bought white cake mix: Use in any recipe calling for a white cake mix as a base (add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the recipe along with the cake mix as the recipe will assume powdered vanilla flavoring was included in the store-bought mix).
• Or to make a basic white cake using your homemade mix, use the following instructions : 1 recipe Homemade White Cake Mix + 1 1/4 cups water + 1/2 cup shortening + 4 egg whites + 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Combine all the ingredients. Beat to mix on low, then beat on high for two minutes. Pour into greased, floured cake pans. Bake at 350-degrees.
• Baking Time : 8″ or 9″ cake rounds - 20-25 minutes / 13 x 9 pan - 35-40 minutes / cupcakes - 12-15 minutes / tube/bundt pan - 45-50 minutes.
• To make this mix without using powdered milk: Delete the dried milk from the mix ingredients. When preparing the cake, replace the 1 1/4 cups water with 1 1/3 cups milk or buttermilk. I've also used coconut milk with this recipe. You can use any kind of milk you want.
• Just remember that recipes calling for a store-bought white cake mix are going to assume the mix contains powdered milk. Also remember, if you make the mix in bulk, instead of measuring out 5 cups per cake, you'd measure out 4 1/2 cups (to make up for the 1/2 cup powdered milk that's not in there).

BASIC WHITE CAKE MIX

• TIP: Egg whites may be beaten separately before adding to mix for a lighter cake.

• To replace in recipes calling for a standard-size 18.25 ounce store-bought yellow cake mix: Use in any recipe calling for a yellow cake mix as a base (add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the recipe along with the cake mix as the recipe will assume vanilla was included in the store-bought mix).

• 1 recipe Homemade Yellow Cake Mix + 3/4 cup water + 1 teaspoons vanilla + 1/2 cup butter, softened + 3 eggs.
• Place Homemade Yellow Cake Mix in a bowl. Add water, vanilla, butter, and eggs. Combine with an electric mixer then beat two more minutes. Pour into a greased and floured cake pan. Bake at 350-degrees, using these baking times (watch carefully as your oven may vary-test for doneness using a toothpick):.
• Baking Time : 8″ or 9″ cake rounds - 20-25 minutes / 13 x 9 pan - 35-40 minutes / cupcakes - 12-15 minutes / tube/bundt pan - 45-50 minutes.
• NOTE: If you don't like using dry milk in your cakes, you can always leave the dry milk out of the mix. When making the cake, replace the water in the recipe with milk.
