Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). In my large mixing bowl, I combine the white cake mix, eggs, and water, mixing until everything is well blended. I find that using an electric mixer helps to get that airy texture. Once the batter is smooth, I pour it into my greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The smell of the cake baking just fills my kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
