I am sure that those of you that look over my cake recipes have noticed a certain pattern with all of my cakes. This is the standard recipe that I have tested for years that is fool proof everytime.

This is a great recipe for those who are just coming into baking. I always use this recipe for all of my wedding cakes because the additon of the cake mix allows the batter to go further. If doing a layered cake, you will get three 8" cakes or 48 cupcakes with one mix.

All you have to do is add your own ingredients to change the flavor of the cake. You also just make adjustments with the liquids according to what you are using. I.E. if you are using pudding or fruit juice, do not use as much milk or shortening.
