Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×13 inch baking pan. This step is essential because you want that perfect, easy-release cake when it’s done baking. In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. I usually beat the mix on medium speed until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the pan, and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once baked, don’t dive right in! Let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
