About Cake Mixes?!
Is a cake mix something that I can only buy from a supermarket or is it something that I can make from scratch!. Because I bought a book called 101 things to do with a cake mix, and I don't understand it because it doesn't provide a recipe for the cake mix, instead it just says for example:
1 yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1 cup oil
1 cup butter!.
and so on!.
If a cake mix is made from eggs, why do I have to put more eggs!? this is really confusing for me!.
Any help will be appreciated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
This book seems to suggest you should buy the cake mix in the supermarket and add all the other ingredients!.
Of course you can make it from scratch, for example:
250 g Butter
200 g sugar
3 eggs
400 g flour
1 tea spoon vanilla essence
grated zest of 1 lemon
50 ml milk
Method: Beat the butter, sugar, vanilla essence and the eggs until light and fluffy!. Slowly add the flour and milk as required!.
Fill the mixture into a greased baking tin and bake for approximately 50 minutes at 200 degrees celsius!.
You can also devide the mixture into two portions and mix one with 2 table spoons of cocoa, then fill the half without the cocoa into the tin, add the dark half with cocoa on the top and make swirls with a fork to make a marble cake!.
Or you can add pieces of fruit (e!.g!. 300 g of apples) to the mixture to make an apple cake!.
Or chocolate chips to make a chocolate chip cake!.
Or coconut for a coconut cake!.
Anything you fance!.
Good luck and have fun! Enjoy your cakes and be creative!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, first, you can buy cake mixes at the store, and secondly you can also make it from scratch!. On the ingredients, its referring to the store brought materials!. All store brought cake mixes are just the right combination of flour, baking soda, salt, sugar!. But it doesn't have the "wet" ingredienst like eggs, oil, and milk, etc!. So, if this is your first time baking a cake, I would suggest a store brought cake mix like better crocker, or duncan hines and just follow the instruction on the back!. it's very easy, and doesn't require alot of time either!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Usually a "cake mix" is a box of the dry ingredients and it is for 13" x 9" cake!. Yes you can put together the ingredients for a cake mix (dry part) and substitute it for the requested "cake mix"
Here is one substitute:

1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
