      Thank you. This was a nice easy recipe. It makes a little cake the size of a cupcake and is handy size. Make as needed and no cake going stale (yeah right). I used Dublin Hines cake mixes instead of Betty Crocker and sifted everything a few times and it fit nicely into a 1/2 gallon jar. I dated and wrote the directions on the lid.
