Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking dish
– Mixing bowls
– Hand mixer or stand mixer
– Measuring cups and spoons

Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and buttermilk. I like to use a hand mixer for this step to ensure everything is well blended and fluffy. Once your batter is smooth, pour it into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The aroma of the baking cake fills my kitchen with pure bliss! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
