Instructions
To Make the Mix
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together until well-combined.
- Add the shortening and vanilla.
- Use an electric mixer on low speed to mix everything together. The mixture will be in small crumbs once combined.
- Store the cake mix in a large resealable bag or large glass jar with a tight-fitting lid in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To Bake a Cake
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or 2 9-inch round baking pans. Set aside.
- Add the cake mix to a large bowl.
- Add eggs, milk, and oil to the cake mix.
- Mix with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds.
- Increase speed to medium, and continue to mix for 1 minute, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For a 9x13 pan, it will take approximately 30-35 minutes. For the 9-inch round baking pans, it will take approximately 25-30 minutes.
