Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Using an electric mixer, mix until the batter is smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Then, pour the batter evenly into the greased baking dish and bake according to the package instructions, usually around 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. As the cake bakes, your kitchen will be filled with a warm, inviting smell that makes everyone eager for dessert! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
