How to Make Box Cake Better

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Step 2

Grease and flour two 8" cake rounds (I use Homemade Cake Release), line with parchment.

Step 3

Wrap cake rounds with damp Evenbake strips (optional).

Step 4

Combine all dry ingredients and whisk together.

Step 5

Add wet ingredients and mix until combined. I use my KitchenAid on low for 2 minutes but you can also do this by hand.

Step 6

Divide the batter between the pans and bake for approximately 50 minutes.

Step 7

Cool in pans on wire rack for 10mins, then turn cakes out onto wire racks to cool completely.
