Easy Bake Oven White Cake and Frosting Mixes

Here's another cake mix recipe that we made to go along with a Christmas present. They are so cute packaged in 4-ounce (stage 2) baby food jars topped with a 5-inch fabric circle and tied with raffia or ribbon. You could replace the shortening in the recipes with softened butter, but you would have to keep your mixes stored in the refrigerator.

White Cake Mix
1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
In a medium bowl, combine sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and drink mix. Stir with a wire whisk until blended. With a pastry blender, cut in shortening until evenly distributed. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each of 11 small containers or zipper bags and seal tightly. Label with date and contents. Store in a cool, dry place. Use within 12 weeks. Yield: 10 packets White Cake Mix. Individual mixes fit nicely in 4 ounce (stage 2) baby food jars.
