Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed and there are no lumps.
Add the powdered milk to the dry ingredients and whisk everything together thoroughly. The powdered milk will allow this cake mix to make a cake by just adding water and a few wet ingredients later.
Once well mixed, transfer the cake mix into an airtight container or a resealable gallon-sized bag. Label the container with the name and date, and store it in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Optional: Include instructions for how to prepare the cake on the label. For example: 'To make a cake: Combine 1 batch of cake mix with 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes in a greased 9×13-inch pan.'
