- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
For making the cake:
- 10 Tablespoons salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- To make the mix, pour the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a 2-quart jar. You may need to pack it down some to fit.
- Place the top on the jar and it will keep at room temperature for up to 3 months.
- To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with baking spray and set aside.
- Place the cake mix into a large bowl and stir together, set aside.
- Whip the butter until smooth in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing the first one in fully before adding the next.
- Add the milk and vanilla and stir. The mixture may appear lumpy, but that’s okay.
- Add the flour mixture into the bowl in 3 batches, fully mixing it in.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and smooth out the top.
- Bake for 32-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool completely then add your favorite toppings!
