This room has been a bit slow lately so I thought we might liven it up and get a few threads going (I'll work on the knitting and weaving stuff next lol).
My first question results from my purchasing a 99 cent cookbook for kindle called "Dump Cakes" that when it arrived turned about to be about 100 ways to take a cake mix and "dump it" into a bowl.
The author even mentions you can use "home made" cake mix as long as it has 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups of flour; and if I were writing the book I'd have included a "master recipe" for doing this.
While I'm sure I can google this one for ideas (and I've been baking long enough I could probably figure something out) I wondered if anyone here had a tried and tested homemade "cake mix" or even a cake recipe (for one "box" worth) that you and your family especially like to use for recipes like this?
I have Maggie's (old Hillbilly Housewife) version printed somewhere but not sure where (so if anyone uses that, great; I don't think I ever actually did).
Again, I'm sure I could just take any "one-bowl" cake recipe from my 1956 Joy of Cooking and it would probably work, but this is the sort of thing I thought others might have on file and actually tested out to which ones work best.
Actual make ahead cake mixes are good to, as I might put a few bags in the freezer for Winter when husband is only home on weekends.
Thanks and have fun!
