Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). I find that this step is crucial as it sets the stage for baking perfection. Next, I lightly grease my 9×13-inch baking dish—sometimes I even use parchment paper for easy removal later on. In one bowl, I mix the yellow cake mix, the water, eggs, and melted butter, until well combined. I love the smell of the batter as I whisk away, and it’s always so satisfying to see it come together.
