Use my Natural Box Cake Mix to customize this recipe into any flavor cake. I have made this as both conventional and vegan with rave reviews.
Ingredients
- 1 Natural Box cake mix (see my other recipes) shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1 cup milk shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- For vegan: substitute 1/2 cup applesauce for eggs and substitute 1 cup plain unsweetened soy milk, where there is ONLY soybeans and water on the ingredients. Any other ingredients, even when it says unsweetened, can alter the taste. shopping list
- Citrus Flavors: 1 teaspoon zest from lemon, lime or orange plus 1/4 cup fresh squeezed juice. Do not reduce the other liquid in the recipe. This cake will be fluffier as the acid will react with the baking powder in the "mix". For gourmands, use blood oranges or key lines for a more adult version. shopping list

- "Butter" with vegan shortening and flour a 9- x 13-inch cake pan, or two 8-inch round cake pans; set aside.
