Homemade Cake Mix

A simple and convenient homemade white cake mix that will replace all your boxed cake mixes. Perfect for quick and delicious cakes!
Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.75 cup super fine sugar can be made by pulsing granulated sugar in a food processor
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.75 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients (for one cake)

  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup milk room temperature
  • 2 large egg whites room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions
 

Making the Cake Mix Base

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, super fine sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Store the dry cake mix in an airtight container at room temperature. It will last for up to 6 months.

To Make a Cake from the Mix

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or one 9x13 inch pan.
  • In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or a stand mixer, cream the softened butter until it is lighter in color and creamier, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the egg whites and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
  • Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until just combined.
  • Add the dry cake mix to the wet ingredients and stir by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 18-22 minutes for round pans, or 22-26 minutes for a 9x13 inch pan. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This homemade cake mix is perfect for all your white cake needs. Adjust baking time based on your oven's performance.
