Master Mix Recipe:
1 package cake flour (2 ¾ lbs) or 13 Cups sifted cake or soft flour
1/3 Cups double-acting baking powder
1 ½ Tablespoon salt
8 Cups sugar (3 ½ lbs)
3 Cups hydrogenated shortening (1 ¼ lbs)
Stir flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to blend. Sift three times. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or electric mixer, or work it in with the finger tips until quite uniformly blended.
A quick method for blending is to put ingredients into a large bowl and use an electric mixer, blending the mixture at low speed until the desired consistency is reached (1 ½ to 3 min.)
Store in an airtight canister at room temperature. To measure mix, pile it lightly into a cup and level off with a spatula. This recipe makes about 23 cups of Mix. This Mix will keep three months without refrigeration.
General directions for making a cake from the Master Cake Mix:
Have ingredients at room temperature. Use a large mixing bowl and a low speed (2-3) or vigorous hand beating. While using mixer, continually scrape the batter from the sides of the bowl into the beaters with a rubber scraper.
