I am looking for a homemade yellow or white cake mix recipe that I can store on the pantry shelf for later use in recipes that call for a mix. Thanks.

Hi, we like to do cake in a jar for holiday gifts. This make 3 jars of mix or 2 cakes. We make the mix ourselves, so I am thinking this would be easy enough to just make regular cake with. I have adapted it for you. I hope it helps.
Here it is:
Make Your Own White Cake Mix
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk
3 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease and flour a 9×13 inch cake pan
White Cake:
3 egg whites
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 c of the mix
Combine all in a bowl, mixing well, pour into 9×13 greased pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool & Frost as desired.
Oh, one little thing I should have put on there is to use a fork and break up the shortening. Work it in until it looks kinda grainy like corn meal.
Thanks so much for the recipes. I’ll be making them up tonight.
There’s a great book that I think might be out of print now called Make Your Own Groceries and it has a recipes for making your own cake mixes. You might be able to find it on half.com or some similar site.
A friend shared this with me and I have tried it and is so good. Her family was camping and her husband wanted a cake, but they didn’t have anything to make the cake with but the mix.
Use 1 cake mix and 1 can of Mountain Dew. This is the most moist cake you will ever eat.
If you want to add some flavor use 1 can cherry coke.
