Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I started by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C) while I prepared the cake mix according to the instructions on the box. I usually love the simplicity of just adding water, eggs, and oil, but I decided to swap out water for milk this time to make it even richer and denser. Once the batter was mixed well, I gently poured it into my greased baking pan. After about 30 minutes in the oven, I knew the cake was ready when a toothpick came out clean. The golden-brown aroma wafted through my kitchen, making it so hard to wait! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
