Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease your 9×13 inch baking dish. In my kitchen, I like to use a little cooking spray to ensure the cake comes out perfectly. In a mixing bowl, I combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mixing it all together usually takes about 2-3 minutes until it’s well blended and looks nice and smooth. It smells heavenly already! Now, pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and bake it according to the package instructions, roughly 30-35 minutes. Make sure to do the toothpick test to check for doneness. Once it’s baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
