To Use the Homemade Yellow Cake Mix
- For recipes calling for a standard-size 18.25 ounce store-bought yellow cake mix, simply use this homemade mix as a replacement. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the recipe along with the cake mix, as the recipe will assume vanilla was included in the store-bought mix.
To Make a Basic Yellow Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pan(s) of choice.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 recipe of the Homemade Yellow Cake Mix with 3/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup softened butter, and 3 eggs.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients together until well combined, then continue to beat for an additional two minutes.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s), spreading it evenly.
- Bake according to the following baking times (keep an eye on your oven, as baking times may vary):
- 8″ or 9″ cake rounds: 20-25 minutes
- 13″ x 9″ pan: 35-40 minutes
- Cupcakes: 12-15 minutes
- Tube/bundt pan: 45-50 minutes
Once baked, test for doneness using a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready!
