Making your own cake mix is quick, easy, and economical. The concept of blending a mix is an old one—and flyers from university extension services from the 1940s and 1950s included a recipe called “The Master Mix,” which was a basic blend that you could use for making cakes and other baked goods.
While classic, making your own mix is as current and timely as the next Pinterest pin. Just blend a few basic ingredients and you will have a great mix to use when baking a dump cake. Not only is it convenient to make your own mix, you can control the quality and avoid certain allergens or chemicals if you prefer. Best of all, they taste great.
The mixes can be stored at room temperature in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 months. It is especially convenient to mix up several batches of cake mix at once so you will have them ready to go whenever you want to make a dump cake.
