Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups All-purpose flour
- 3.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the mixing bowl.
Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make sure there are no large chunks of butter remaining.
Once fully combined, transfer the homemade cake mix to an airtight container.
Store the mix in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When you're ready to bake, use 4 cups of this mix for one standard cake: simply add 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then proceed with your desired baking instructions.
