How to Make Bag Style Shake A Cake

  1. Combine all dry ingredients (see below) in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
  2. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to ensure even distribution.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (see below).
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the bag in two additions, shaking well after each addition (about 30 seconds each time).
  5. Grease and flour an 8x5 inch baking pan, three 8-inch round cake pans, or a 9x13 inch baking pan. Alternatively, grease a round Dutch oven.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan(s).
  8. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Frost with your favorite icing, or serve plain with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
