Homemade Cake Mix Recipe

Homemade Cake Mix Recipe (x3)
Can be made using Gluten-Free flour blends
3 quart-sized Mason Jars for storage
 
Dry Ingredients (makes 3 cakes)
4 ½ Cups Cake Flour (Tips below)
2 ¼ Cups Sugar
3 Tsp Baking Powder
1 ½ Tsp Salt
 
Instructions
In a very large bowl or pot mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Carefully measure mix into 3 quart-sized Mason Jars for storage. Use a Food Scale for accuracy.
 
NOTE: Each jar will make one 9-inch square cake or 12 cupcakes. Gluten-Free Cup4Cup flour blends can be used.
 
How to make Cake Flour
Cake Flour is simply a lighter, finer ground flour. If using regular, or All-Purpose flour use this simple trick to make Cake Flour. To make one cup of Cake Flour, add two tablespoons of cornstarch to your one-cup measuring cup, then fill it the rest of the way with All-Purpose flour. If you need ½ cup measurements, add one tablespoon of cornstarch to your ½ cup measuring cup and fill the rest with All-Purpose flour.
 
Another option would be to use a Cuisinart blender and give the flour an extra spin. This works well for any Gluten-Free Cup4Cup flour blends too.
