- 4 1/2 cups basic cake mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan and set aside. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients. Beat until moistened, one to two minutes. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
White cake from mix: Prepare the batter as for the yellow cake, but use 3 egg whites instead of 2 whole eggs.
Chocolate cake from mix: Follow the ingredients as for the yellow cake, but add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
Spice cake from mix: Follow the recipe as for a yellow cake, except add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
