This homemade cake and dessert mix is a fantastic way to customize your sweet treats without the preservatives found in store-bought blends. By combining all-purpose flour, sugar, cornstarch, and a touch of vanilla, you create a neutral yet flavorful base that works for single-serve mug cakes or larger batch desserts. The addition of non-fat dry milk ensures a tender crumb and rich flavor profile while keeping it vegan-friendly if you substitute the milk powder or omit it. Perfect for busy weeknights or spontaneous dessert cravings, this mix stores easily in the refrigerator and allows you to experiment with different add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit. It’s a simple, cost-effective solution for satisfying your sweet tooth with fresh, home-style flavor.
