Duncan Hines: Moist Deluxe Yellow Cake Mix Recipe

Ingredients:
3 cups cake flour
2 cups baker's sugar (superfine sugar)
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
½ cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons imitation butter flavoring
10 drops yellow food coloring

To make cake:
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

Directions:
1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
2. Combine shortening, vanilla, butter flavoring, and food coloring with an electric mixer in a small bowl. Spoon shortening mixture into dry ingredients and beat well with the electric mixer on medium speed. Mix until no chunks of shortening are visible. The mixture should resemble cornmeal. This is your cake mix, which you can keep in a sealed container for several months until you are ready to make the cake.
3. To make the cake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the sides and bottom of two 9-inch baking pans or one 13 x 9-inch pan. Lightly flour the greased pans.
4. Blend dry cake mix (from step #1) with water, oil and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 more minutes.
5. Pour batter into pans and bake for 30 to 33 minutes for 9-inch pans, and 35 to 38 minutes for 13 x 9-inch pan. You can also make cupcakes with the mix. They take 19 to 22 minutes.
