directions
- Churn the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade a couple of seconds until well blended. Tap half the mixture onto a large piece of waxed paper and reserve.
- Scatter half the butter evenly over the dry ingredients in the processor and pulse 6 to 8 times. Pulse quickly 3 to 5 times more until the mixture is about the texture of lentils. Empty the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Return the reserved dry mixture to the food processor, scatter the remaining butter evenly on top, and cut in as before. Add to the mixture in the bowl.
- Toss the 2 batches together well, then spoon into a large zipper freezer bag, press out the air, and seal. Label, date and store in the freezer. This quick cake mix will last at least 2 months in the freezer, 1 week to 10 days in the refrigerator.
- Scoop out the frozen mix – no need to thaw – and use as individual recipes direct.

I'm so sorry, but this just did not work out for me. I froze it for 4 days, then scooped it into a small springform pan. It didn't rise well. I checked my baking powder, and it is still quite active, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I will keep trying until I get it just right. Made and reviewed for Bevy Tag - Thanks :)
