What is the recipe for chocolate cake mix if the box was lost?

Most cake mix instructions are to add:

*2 eggs

1/3 cup oil

1 1/3 cups water

Blend dry mix with eggs, oil and water at low speed for about 30 seconds to blend, then beat a medium speed for 2 minutes.

Pour batter into greased, floured pans, then bake at 350 degrees, or till cake is done. If baking 2 standard size round cake layers, the instructions say to bake for about 35 minutes, but I find that over cooks the cake and makes it dry. I usually bake them for no longer than 25 minutes, with very good results.

After removing from the oven, let the cake layers cool for about 10 - 15 minutes, then turn out on cooling racks, let cool before icing.

*Some cake mix directions say to use 3 eggs, which you can do with any standard cake mix, even the ones that say to use 2 eggs.

You can also add different flavorings to the cake mix, such as a bit of coconut flavoring to chocolate cake mix for a delicious flavor, or vanilla extract to yellow cake mix. Butter flavoring added to cake mixes also adds a great flavor.

Tos the contents ito a mixing bowl, add 1 egg then add milk to it while stiring until it is a runy conistency. pour it into a cake tin and shove it into a pre heated oven

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F to 175 degrees C.

Pour the batter into the pan and bake it for 32-35 minutes or until the toothpick inserted into it comes out clean.

What is instant yeast?

Instant yeast is another type of dry yeast that was introduced after active dry yeast in the 1970s. It is made using a similar process as active dry yeast, although is dried more quickly. As you can see, this yeast is also milled into finer particles. Because of this, it dissolves faster and activates quickly. But unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast doesn't have to be proofed first; it can be mixed straight into the dry ingredients with the same result.

This yeast also gives you two separate rises and it can be used interchangeably with active dry yeast.

Why should you eat dessert when you are stressed?

You shouldn't, actually. Stress-based eating is often one of the factors that leads into weight-gain and eating disorders such as binge-eating and food addiction.

If you must eat some kind of dessert when you are stressed, I would suggest dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has antioxidants and is low in calories, as well as has the same pleasurable feel to it that causes people to look to eating when they are stressed.

I hope this answered your question!

Can you bake with flour that has weevils?

The only problem would be if you told anyone about it. It is just a little extra protein. That may upset some people, but if you run the flour through a shifter, that should get rid of most of the weevils and there are no diseases carried by weevils. People may not want to think about it, but we all eat a fair amount of bugs every day. The USDA even has an acceptable amount of bug content in breakfast cereal.

If you absolutely must use the flour, a very fine sieve should separate out the weevils. Freeze the flour for at least two days first, to kill the insects.

However if you can simply buy more flour, do so: any large infestation can affect flavors.

If weevils are a recurring problem for you, wrap your flour packages in plastic and keep them in the fridge. Because the weevils could well be invisible but present before you buy the flour or other dry goods, freeze the package for two days before refrigerating; this will kill off any eggs or larvae.

When you find weevils present in dry foods, wrap the package in plastic and dispose in the bin. You must also vacuum the cupboards where the weevils were found and then wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth.

Can oil be substituted for butter?

It depends on what the oil was for. If it is a recipe, especially for baking, you can use butter as substitute for oil. It is not recommended to substitute butter to fry something because it tends to burn in a hot pan, you should use oil to fry.
