Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan with a bit of butter or non-stick spray. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. I like to use my hand mixer for a few minutes until everything is well-blended and smooth. When I pour the batter into the prepared pan, it looks so velvety! Once you have it all spread out, pop it into the oven and let it bake for around 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The heavenly aroma drifting from the oven is truly delightful! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
