    Uses for Yellow Cake Mix

    Yellow cake mix is a great base for a lot of great recipes from the classic cake to cake mix cookies! I love making up a yellow cake mix and topping it with chocolate frosting.

    Is This a Cake Recipe?

    This is a dry mix. You will need to add ingredients like eggs and/or butter when you are ready to make it into a cake.

    Storing Dry Cake Mix

    If you are not using your cake mix right away, you will need to store your cake mix in an airtight container. I use a mason jar. It will store for up to two months in the pantry. 

    To Make The Mix Into a Cake:

    When you want to make your mix into a basic yellow cake mix together: 

    • 1 recipe homemade yellow cake mix
    • ¾ cup water or milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • ½ cup butter, softened
    • 3 eggs 

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour your baking pan. Mix together all cake ingredients on medium speed for approximately two minutes. Pour into your pan and bake according to times. 8-9” cake rounds: 22-27 minutes, 9x13 inch pan: 30-35 minutes, Cupcakes: 20-23 minutes, Bundt pan: 40-45 minutes

    Substitutions

    There are several substitutions you can use in the mix recipe.

    • Flour: Use your favorite gluten free flour. We find that if you tolerate milk, Cup4Cup is my personal favorite. Until I found out it had milk and I got sick. Now I’ll usually opt for Bobs 1:1. 
    • Sugar: You can use sugar like monkfruit or other lower calorie sugar. We like Miss Jones Smart Sugar.

    • Powdered Milk: Powdered Milk: You can substitute dairy free powdered milk. There are several types of dairy free powdered milk including coconut, oat, lactose free and almond.
