Vanilla Cake Mix

Vanilla Cake Mix

EverydayDrySweetened

Vanilla cake mix is a pre-made dry baking blend designed to simplify cake preparation by combining refined flour, sugar, leavening agents, and vanilla flavoring in precise ratios. This shelf-stable mix typically requires only the addition of eggs, oil, and water to produce a light, sweet cake with consistent texture, though it often contains preservatives and artificial flavors for extended storage. While convenient for quick desserts, it tends to be high in added sugars and refined carbohydrates compared to whole-ingredient baking alternatives.
