Homemade Chocolate Cake Mix

Homemade Chocolate Cake Mix

My family is very happy tonight since I whipped up this homemade chocolate cake.  The mix is SO easy to make up.  The cake was a big hit and I even cheated with a store bought frosting.

You’ll definitely want to add this to your pantry when you see how simple (I’m talking ridiculously easy) this one is to whip up.

How to Make a Homemade Chocolate Cake Mix:

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
• 1 1/3 cups hot water (or hot coffee)

How to make DIY Chocolate Cake Mix:

To make mix: combine flour, sugar cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder; mix well.

Store until ready to use.

Instructions When Ready to Prepare Cake Batter:

1. Add cake mix to a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, melted butter and water. Blend until well combined.

2. Pour batter into greased and floured cake or muffin pans.

3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake according to times below.

4. Cool cake before frosting.

• 13″ x 9″ cake pan – bake about 35 minutes.
• 8″x 8″ round cake pans – bake about 30 minutes.
• Bundt pan – bake about 45 minutes.
• Cupcakes – bake about 18 minutes.

I used a store bought frosting for this one, but a chocolate buttercream icing like this one would be fabulous.

I can’t wait to try this one using coffee instead of water. ☕️☕️ Then I can eat it for breakfast, right???
