Copy Cat Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix Recipe

Copy Cat Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix

From sanzoe 4 years ago

A copy cat version of a popular cake mix. You can make the mix ahead of time and save for later.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
Stir to combine.
Combine shortening, vanilla, and food coloring with an electric mixer in a small bowl.
Spoon shortening mixture into dry ingredients and beat well with mixer on medium speed.
Mix until no chunks of shortening are visible.
The mix should resemble cornmeal.
This is your cake mix, which you can keep in a sealed container for several months until you are ready to make the cake.
To make the cake
Preheat oven to 350
Grease the sides and bottom of two 9 inch baking pans or one 13x9 inch pan.
Lightly flour pans.
Blend dry cake mix with the water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl on low speed until moistened.
Increase to medium speed and beat for two minutes.
Pour batter into pans and bake for 30-33 minutes for 9 inch pan, 35-38 minutes for 13x9 pan. Cupcakes take 19-22 minutes.

I really like this recipe....very moist. But I get craters every time after baking. They look sickly. What am I doing wrong?
