Homemade Cake Mix

10 cups all-purpose flour
6 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup cornstarch
5 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 1/2 cups vegetable shortening

In a large sifter, combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Sift, in batches, into a large bowl. Use a pastry blender or a heavy duty mixer to blend in the shortening until the mixture resembles cornmeal in texture.

Spoon into a container with a 20-cup capacity and a tight fitting lid. Seal container; label with date and contents. Store in a cool, dry place. Use within 10-12 weeks.
