Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, water, and melted butter. I like to use an electric mixer for this; it gets everything combined so quickly and easily! Once it’s all mixed, pour it into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. I always check a little early to avoid overbaking. The smell should fill your kitchen with warmth and sweetness! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
