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.
5¼ cups GF Flour Mix** (below) 2¼ teaspoons xanthan gum 8 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 1/2 cups sugar 4 teaspoons powdered vanilla 2 tablespoons Egg Replacer
Whisk all ingredients together and store on pantry shelf.

Add: 1 egg plus 1 egg white (or ¼ cup liquid egg substitute) 1/3 cup mayo or light mayo 2/3 cup nondairy sour cream Beat for about 1 minute on medium speed and turn batter into an 8" square pan sprayed with vegetable spray. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. (See below for flavor variations.)
