Did you know I bake lots of cakes? Like, lots and lots of lots of cakes? I had a homemade white cake recipe that I love but have been on the search for a good (and it must be GOOD) yellow cake recipe. This Yellow Cake Mix is the perfect way to get rid of box mixes or the perfect gift for a friend!
Yellow Cake Mix
There are TWO reasons that I finally ended up in this yellow cake recipe:
#1 Its a one-bowl recipe.
#2 It uses whole eggs, not 8 egg yolks.
Oh, and one more… it’s the BEST! Tastes amazing.
(If you want this recipe written out try my Birthday Cake recipe, it is the same delicious yellow cake only written to be made immediately.)
Homemade Cake Mix
The recipe is written to be stored. You prepare the dry ingredients, label, and store it in your pantry. When you are ready to bake the yellow cake, you remove from your pantry and add the wet ingredients. It is a great option if you have a few extra minutes the week before a birthday or special occasion! Not only can making your own cake mixes save you time, but they taste amazing and are real, natural ingredients!
If you want a yellow cake recipe check out this Birthday Cake version. Detailed tips and tricks on how to make this yellow cake from scratch when you do not need to make the yellow cake mix.
I couldn’t help but pair this yellow cake with a rich chocolate buttercream, as that is my favorite combination.
If you would like the CUPCAKE version of the best yellow cake, try this recipe for the Perfect Yellow Cupcake.
If you want to give this as a gift simply print out the ‘wet’ ingredients and the directions and attach to the jar. Be sure to add some instructions, though. Something like, “After the cake is cooled call me and I will be right over.”

HOW MUCH IS A STICK OF BUTTER.
1/2 cup or 113g
Love your basic recipes…going to use these. What great idea for Christmas gifts. Many thanks!
Would love to try this yellow cake mix but it seems a lot of milk for a cake,is measures correct please
After making the cake mix, can I use it immediately or I should store it before using
God bless to share.
Made this tonight and family LOVED IT! No frosting tho as that is how we prefer cakes except for the occasional cream cheese frosting. This was sweet enough but not too sweet to enjoy without frosting.
Cooked in a 9×13 pan and just check the middle with a toothpick till it was lightly moist when pulled out. So, don’t go by times as I go by feel, smell. toothpick test etc. Better way of cooking and baking vs time.
Did not have enough AP flour so had to use 1 1/4 cup of bread flour to make it the full 2 1/4 cup. Light , fluffy, buttery with a hint of vanilla goodness.
Been learning over the years how to make breads, cakes and any other baked goodies. Glad to say this recipe is a keeper!
Can this be baked in two 8-inch round pans?
Hi, Amanda😊. Can you use cake flour for the homemade yellow cake mix?
Thank you
We don’t see milk as an ingredient in the video?..
I love your dessert recipes. Looking forward to making your home made cake mixes.
My grandmother made a homemade icing chocolate that you could literally peel off from the cake, I know it had cocoa, powdered sugar and brewed coffee in it. Does this sound familiar to you?
