How to Make Homemade Yellow Cake with Homemade Cake Mix
- Before getting started, preheat your oven to 350ºF and grease up a 13x9 cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Keep in mind that one full batch of cake mix will make 1 single layer yellow cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine one full batch of homemade cake mix with 1/2 cup of milk or buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil, 2 large eggs and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.*
- Pour the batter into the 13x9 baking pan that you greased up in the first step and bake at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After baking, be sure to let the cake cool completely before frosting and decorating.
