BASIC HOMEMADE CAKE MIX RECIPE
I recommend using cake flour as it makes this cake more fluffy and tender. If you're going to use all-purpose, sift it, then measure it out.
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan.
In a large bowl, combine oil, milk and vanilla. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks are formed (room temperature is best). Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients until just blended. Fold in egg whites and pour the batter into the dish immediately.
Pour batter into greased and floured 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Homemade White Cake: Prepare as for the basic cake except use 3 egg whites for the 2 whole eggs. Whites may be beaten separately and added for a lighter cake.
Homemade Chocolate Cake: Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the basic cake mix prior to adding the milk.
Homemade Spice Cake: Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice to the basic cake mix.
Homemade Pineapple Upside Down Cake: Melt 1/2 cup butter in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Add 2/3 cup brown sugar, stirring into the butter. Arrange pineapple slices in the pan. Top with the basic (yellow cake) mix recipe. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, cool 5 minutes, and invert to serve.
3/4 cup homemade mayonnaise 1/4 cup homemade cherry conserve 1/2 tsp curry powder 1/4 tsp salt 12 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained and squeezed dry 1/4 tsp lemon juice 2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken 1 cup finely diced celery 1/2 cup sliced green onion
First combine the mayonnaise, chutney, curry powder and salt. Add remaining ingredients - chill before serving.
