This is a basic dry pound cake mix that will make two batches (500g each) of traditional pound cake mix. This recipe uses butter and must be stored in the refrigerator where it will keep for up to 6 weeks. If you substitute shortening for the butter the dry mix will keep in a sealed jar for up to 6 months.

Ingredients:

250g unsalted butter
375g sugar
250g plain flour
5 tbsp powdered milk
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp ground vanilla pod
3/4 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp ground mace

Method:

Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a bowl. Dice the butter, add to the mix then cut in with two knives until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine then divide between two jars. The mixture will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. If you substitute shortening for the butter it will keep in sealed jars in a cool cupboard for up to 6 months.
