How to Make Make Your Own Chocolate Cake Mix
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the granulated sugar and whisk until combined.
- Cut in the softened butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Store the cake mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
- **To make the cake:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans, or a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or orange extract), and 2 large eggs.
- Add the dry cake mix to the wet ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake round cakes for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Bake the 9x13 inch pan for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- **For cupcakes:** Fill greased or lined cupcake tins ½ to ¾ full. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Yields approximately 24 cupcakes.
