Basic Cake Mix

This mix will make four cakes, and it can be doubled easily. Store the mix in a plastic bag or plastic container with your regular flours for you to add the fresh eggs, shortening, and liquid when stirring up the cake.

2¼ teaspoons xanthan gum
8 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 1/2 cups sugar

Whisk all ingredients together and store on pantry shelf.
