Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get cooking! The first thing I do is preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). I then prepare my baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later on. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. I mix everything thoroughly—this is where the rich chocolate aroma begins to fill my kitchen! Once it’s well combined, I fold in half of the sliced strawberries. It’s starting to look delicious already! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
