Yellow Cake Mix

Yellow Cake Mix

EverydayDrySweetened

Yellow cake mix is a pre-blended dry baking product containing flour, sugar, leavening agents, and artificial vanilla or butter flavoring designed to create a golden, mildly sweet base cake. The mix requires added fats (oil/butter) and liquids before baking, significantly impacting the final product's calorie and fat content. While convenient, its nutritional profile is dominated by refined carbohydrates and added sugars, with color typically enhanced through egg yolk derivatives or food coloring.
