Most of the ingredients for making a basic but delicious cake mix can be found in the pantry: sifted flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking, powder, and salt. The ingredients are measured and placed in an airtight container, and can be stored for ten to twelve weeks. To make a chocolate cake mix that is equivalent to one box, sift and mix 1 and a half cups all purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt Combine everything in a large bowl and mix thoroughly using a fork.
Commercial cake mixed consists of roughly the same ingredients but may have emulsifiers, colorings, additives, and other flavorings. The most common emulsifier used in cake mixes is soy lecithin. Vanillin, which is an artificial vanilla flavoring, is also commonly added giving it the characteristic “cake mix taste.”
In a bowl, mix the cake mix, vanilla pudding, corn oil, and eggs. Stir into a smooth batter. Using a hand- or electric blender, beat the mixture for couple of minutes, until well blended. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
