Step-by-Step Instructions
First, you’ll want to preheat your oven according to the instructions on your chocolate cake mix box. Once your oven is ready, prepare the cake batter according to the package directions and pour it into your greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake it until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, typically around 30-35 minutes. The aroma of chocolate wafting through my kitchen is one of my favorite parts of baking! After baking, let the cake cool for about 15 minutes before moving on to the next step. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
