Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the devil’s food cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. I like to use an electric mixer on medium speed for about two minutes to get everything nice and smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once it’s baked, take it out and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This will be the perfect moment to prepare the fudge sauce! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
