Questions? A few answered:
- Can I use this instead of any box of cake mix? You can use this instead of any standard size ( 15-18 oz) box of yellow cake mix.
- I don’t have any butter. Can I use something else? Yes. If desired, you can replace the melted butter with a neutral tasting oil.
- What if I don’t have any buttermilk? You can either substitute it with regular milk (dairy or plant based will both work). Another alternative is adding about a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon into a 1/2 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- How long do I bake this for? Check out the notes in the recipe card for the baking temperature and approximate baking times.
Note: Do not over mix your batter! Simply mix until there are no longer any dry spots left. Over mixing may give you a dense cake.
