I loved how easy it was to make the cake mix! I made 2, one to have on hand and then the other I made chocolate cupcakes with. They came out perfect. Thank you so much!
This cake mix is one the best cake mix recipes I've tried. I'm glad you included the substitutions, I used cake flour because I ran out of gluten-free flour, it turned out great.
I prepared this cake mix and packaged it beautifully in a mason jar. I will give this to my GF girlfriend as a birthday gift - I'm sure she will love it!
What a fun gift giving idea!
