Notes

Following these simple tips will give your cake mix the best flavor and longest shelf life:
Use the freshest ingredients: Did you know that baking powder and baking soda can lose its effectiveness? It can! Be sure to make your cake mixes with newer ingredients for the best results!

Sifting dry ingredients together is always a great idea with homemade cake. Nobody likes a lumpy cake.

Store your cake mix in an airtight container, jar, or ziploc bag.

When making your cake, be sure to use room temperature wet ingredients.
