As a random note. I use a 9 grain flour in many of these recipes that contains hard red wheat, soft white wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, millet, buckwheat and flax seeds. It's now available at all the Honeyville Farms Retail Locations in a 50 (yes 50 lbs) for around 16$. It is their 9 Grain Cracked Cereal in a flour form and amazing to use in place of 100% of all purpose flour in most recipes. I used the cracked version in my 9-grain-ciabatta whole grain bread.

Tess Whole Grain Cake Mix
5 cups whole grain cake flour (I use Honeyville Farms 9 grain flour)
2 1/2 cup sugar (or Xylitol natural sweetener)
2T baking powder
1T salt
1 cup organic shortening (or butter )
1T double strength vanilla
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt through a flour sifter at least once to remove extra lumps. Combine shortening (or butter) with dry ingredients and vanilla in a Kitchen Aid type mixer with paddle attachment. Mix until well combined. If you don't have a mixer, it also works to cut the shortening into the flour as you would for pie crust and then run the mix through a hand held flour sifter to make the mixture more smooth. The metal flour sifters are available to purchase at most grocery stores and baking sections of Wal-mart or Target. Yields 9 cups cake mix. If you use butter, please keep your mix in the fridge!
4 1/2 cups mix equal to one boxed cake mix:
5 cups whole grain cake flour (I use Honeyville Farms 9 grain flour)
2 1/2 cup sugar (or Xylitol natural sweetener)
2T baking powder

Pan size: 2 8 inch 33-35 minutes
2 9 inch 28-31 minutes
13 by 9 inch 32-35 minutes
bundt 38-43 minutes
24 cupcakes 18-21 minutes

White Wheat flour or Spelt flour will work. Wheat bread flour is not
a good alternative for cake mix. The protein content is too high to
produce a tender cake.

Tess' Extra Moist Holiday Buttermilk Cookie Mix
9
cups Honeyville Farms 9 grain flour
1 1/2 buttermilk powder (instant milk is okay too)
1 1/2 cup Homemade Instant Pudding Mix
3T baking powder
1 T salt
2T vanilla
2 cups butter or shortening (I use Spectrum Organic)
3 cups sugar (you can use spenda spoon able instead)
Directions:
Softened butter in a very large bowl, electric mixers are amazing for making mixes, I highly recommend using one. Add the sugar and vanilla (I also love brandy, rum, nut flavors...)and cream well. In a separate large bowl combine the dry ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. If done correctly it will look like a course cornmeal. This mix will make 20 cups of cookie mix. I use 2 cups of mix per gourmet mix. Most often I will put 2 cup portions in storage size zip bags. This mix will make 10 bags of plain sugar cookie mix.

The
baking directions for basic Buttermilk Sugar Cookies:
In a large bowl, combine the cookie mix, 2 egg and 1/4 Chocolate Infused Certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil
cup oil. Drop by rounded Tablespoon onto cookie sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 375 degrees 10-12 minutes. You may sprinkle with sugar or funky cool nubby things. You know...have fun. Also, if you would prefer to do a roll out sugar cookie from the mix, use only 1 egg 1/4 cup oil or melted butter and chill the dough 30 minutes before rolling out 1/4 inch on lightly floured counter top. Bake 375 degrees 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies.
There you go! Enjoy some healthier cookies this season!
