MAKE YOUR OWN CAKE MIX
I see all these cool recipes using cake mixes and I usually don't have any on hand. I found this recipe on Recipelink.com, where it is credited as being from Make Your Own Groceries. I've used it, and it does the job! There is another cake mix recipe on this site (#182515), but I thought I'd go ahead and post this one since it is slightly different (it's made with shortening, so it can be made ahead and stored in a plastic bag) and it also includes notes for variations. I'm posting a recipe for a chocolate cake mix as well.

Steps:
- Churn the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade a couple of seconds until well blended. Tap half the mixture onto a large piece of waxed paper and reserve.
- Scatter half the butter evenly over the dry ingredients in the processor and pulse 6 to 8 times. Pulse quickly 3 to 5 times more until the mixture is about the texture of lentils. Empty the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Return the reserved dry mixture to the food processor, scatter the remaining butter evenly on top, and cut in as before. Add to the mixture in the bowl.
- Toss the 2 batches together well, then spoon into a large zipper freezer bag, press out the air, and seal. Label, date and store in the freezer. This quick cake mix will last at least 2 months in the freezer, 1 week to 10 days in the refrigerator.
- Scoop out the frozen mix - no need to thaw - and use as individual recipes direct.

Steps:
- Measure out the amount needed for your recipe. I always measure out 6 cups of all purpose flour.
- For every 1 cup of flour remove 2 Tbsp of flour.
- Now add 2 Tbsp of Cornstarch for every 1 cup of flour. (replacing the tablespoons of flour taken out).
- Sift 5-6 times and it's ready-to-use cake flour.
- *To sift flour without a sifter just use a strainer by filling it with flour and tapping against the palm of your hand over a bowl.
- (left-over flour can go back in the bag).
- Always measure the flour that is needed after its sifted.
