To Use the Homemade Yellow Cake Mix

  1. 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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pan(s) of choice.
  2. 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.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients together until well combined, then continue to beat for an additional two minutes.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s), spreading it evenly.
  5. 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!
