Whether you’re looking for a simple cake variation or something a bit more fancy or even some cookies we’ve got you covered in this list of easy recipes featuring simple white cake mix.
Homemade or Store Bought
While all of the following recipes could easily be made a box of cake mix from the grocery store – we’re bigger fans of making our own homemade white cake mix.
Homemade cake mixes are very easy to make and quite frugal, meaning they can be a scratch cook’s best friend.
A Mix But Still From Scratch
While many boxed cake mix recipes call for other boxed ingredients like instant puddings, a can of soda, or other processed ingredients, we believe that your homemade mix can easily be added to creations free of over-processed ingredients.
The best part is that these recipes can be made from simple ingredients and even feature things like your homemade jams, canned fruits, dried fruits, and more.
