Homemade Cake Mix

Recipe and photos taken from I Am Baker

Did you know you can make your own cake mix?
You can have high quality, delicious tasting cake with the ease and convenience of a box mix.
And it just takes moments to do!

Just assemble your dry ingredients as well as the sugar.
Dry Ingredients:
2 3/4 cup flour
1 3/4 cups SUPER fine sugar (you can buy this or make it)
2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 tsp salt

(I will post the rest of the recipe I am using below)

Sift together all ingredients and place in mason jar or your chosen storage container.

And viola!  You have your own cake mix! (This recipe totaled about 4 1/2 cups of dry ingredients, so I used an eight cup mason jar)
You will of course need to add the wet ingredients when you are ready to make your cake.

So I just write what I need to add on a little reminder card.
And don't forget the date!  I would probably try and use this within three months.  But around here, I usually use at least one jar a week!

Don't forget the instructions!  (I am not saying that from experience or anything...) And any other little annoying notes you might want to write yourself.
I sorta love words like moist and delicious and yum when describing cake.  I cant help myself.
Feel free to do this with chocolate cake or yellow cake or any cake that suits your fancy.
