Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease your 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Using a hand mixer, blend all the ingredients until smooth and well-combined.
