Homemade Cake Mix


Yeah, Yeah, I forgot to post it.Don't forget the granola bar recipe posted earlier.......


       Basic Cake Mix
8 cups all-purpose flour
5 cups sugar
1/4 cup baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups shortening

In a large bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder,
and salt. With pastry blender cut in shortening till mixture resembles very fine crumbs. Divide mix into five equal portions (about 3 1/3 cups each). (I use Quart canning jars, you could use Ziploc Freezer bags.)
 
Place in airtight containers. Store in a cool, dry place up
to six weeks. Or place in freezer containers and freeze for up to 6
months.
Don't forget to label them! You'll have no idea next summer what that bag is!

bowl combine the mix and the milk. Beat at low speed of electric mixer till moistened. Beat 1 minute at medium speed. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Spread batter evenly in  pans. Bake in 350 degree oven about 20 minutes or till wooden pick comes out clean. Cool pans for 10 minutes and remove cake to cool completely.
