Cómo preparar Make Your Own Cake Mix
- Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Add 2 cups granulated sugar and whisk to combine.
- Cut in 1 cup vegetable shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Store the dry cake mix in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag at room temperature.
- **To make a cake:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 package (the amount you just made) of cake mix, 3/4 cup milk, and 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Beat on low-to-medium speed for 2 minutes using an electric mixer or vigorously by hand, scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently.
- Add 2 large eggs (or 3 egg whites for a white cake) and beat for another minute.
- Grease and flour your baking pan (two 8 or 9-inch round pans, or one 9x13 inch pan).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and spread evenly.
- **Baking times:**
- * 8 or 9-inch round pans: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- * 9x13 inch pan: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in their pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Variations:**
- * **Spice Cake:** Add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of ground allspice to the dry cake mix before adding the wet ingredients.
- * **White Cake:** Use 3 egg whites instead of 2 whole eggs.
- * **Extract Flavored Cakes:** Replace vanilla extract with 2-3 teaspoons of your favorite extract (almond, lemon, etc.). Add a few drops of food coloring for vibrant hues.
- * **Fresh Orange Cake:** Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated orange zest to the dry mix. Substitute 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice (adding water to reach 1 cup) for the milk.
- * **Cupcakes:** Fill greased cupcake liners halfway and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes. This will make approximately 2 dozen cupcakes.
