Yellow Scratch Cake Mix

 Making a cake mix from scratch was a crazy-easy endeavor! I may never purchase one again!

2 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

4 Tbsp. (1/4 cup) softened *butter, room temperature

Mix dry ingredients together and then cut in the butter with a pastry blender.

*To make this recipe dairy-free, use melted coconut oil instead of butter and mix thoroughly with a fork or mixer.

For cake:

1 recipe of above cake mix recipe

1 cup water

2/3 cup oil

3 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla extract or vanilla powder

Mix ingredients together and put in oven at 350 degrees. Depending on the size and shape of pans, the time will vary. Cupcakes are likely 15-17 minutes. Cakes in two 9x9 pans should be closer to 25 minutes. One large 9x13 pan may be 30 or so minutes. Cake should be slightly golden on the edges and a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
