Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, room temperature
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or clean hands, incorporate the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles a fine, sandy texture. Ensure there are no large lumps of butter remaining.
Once the mix is uniform and crumbly, transfer it to an airtight container or a large zip-top bag.
Store the homemade yellow cake mix in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 3 months or at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
To use the mix, proceed as you would with a store-bought box. Combine additional wet ingredients (e.g., eggs, milk, oil, or water, depending on your recipe) to complete your cake batter.
