DIRECTIONS TO MAKE YOUR DRY HOMEMADE CAKE MIX FOR YOUR PANTRY
In a med-size bowl, mix all the ingredients listed above, make sure they are well combined. Move to a Mason Jar of your preference, that seal perfectly, so that the mix can be stored for several months, (if it last that long since you will be making cakes often, smile.) The dry mix render a bit over 2cups.
 
RECIPE TO MAKE YOUR HOMEMADE CAKE OR CUPCAKES with the MIX
PREHEAT YOUR OVER TO 350 DEGREES F.
As during any baking, cover a 13x9 cake pan with parchment paper or olive oil spray. (If you are making cupcakes; however, then oil spray a 12 or 24 cupcake pan, (depends on size), and set aside.
 
In a med-size mixing bowl, add all the wet ingredients listed below, whisk well to combine.
Next, add them to the dry cake mix and whisk or beat just until all ingredients are combined.

• 1/2 cup of buttermilk or evaporated milk, my favorite,
• 1/3 c.  of extra virgin olive oil, (or melted unsalted butter)
• 2 large eggs at room temperature,
• 1 tsp. of Almond Extract or 1 tsp. of vanilla extract or both.
• The frosting of your choice (I made chocolate frosting, smile)

 
Pour the batter into the baking pan (or the cupcake liners) bake the cake for 20 to 30 min., or the cupcakes for 15 min. depending on your oven calibration. A toothpick should come out clean. If you plan to frost or decorate the cake/cupcakes, let them cool down first.
Also, never ever over beat your mixes. Beat/mix only until all the ingredients are soft & combined.
