Baking a cake from scratch
I’ve been making cakes for over 20 years and always baked from scratch. I have never used a box mix ever? Baking a cake from scratch is how I was raised; a box mix was never an option.
I always thought people buy box mix because of the convenience factor. But I have met a lot of people who are afraid of baking a cake from scratch. Even when you give them a good, tried and tested recipe they still prefer the box? To me, why consume all those preservatives and chemicals when you can avoid it.
I've read that most commercial mixes contain hydrogenated fats, additives, preservatives, and lots of salt. They also include artificial colors, flavorings such as tartrazine which has been linked to ADHD disorders. (this is from an article I read by Jane Clarke, a leading british nutritionist)
