Basic Cake Mix
contributed by gayla
8 cups (2 pounds) cake flour
6 cups sugar
1/4 cup baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups vegetable shortening
1 box of instant vanilla pudding powder
In large bowl, combine cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix well. With pastry knife or mixer at lowest speed, cut in shortening until evenly distributed. Put in large airtight container, label. Store in a cool dry place. Use within 10-12 weeks.
To make a cake, I add 2 eggs (3 for more richness), and water enough to make a batter, to 3 cups of the mix.
( homemade cake flour Mix 1 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of cornstarch. )
