Step-by-Step Instructions
To embark on this delicious adventure, let’s start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While my oven is warming up, I like to grease my 9×13 inch baking dish to ensure that our cake won’t stick. In a mixing bowl, I combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs; I whisk them together until everything is blended and smooth. The batter will have a lovely yellow hue and smell divine. At this point, I can hear the oven chiming, ready for me! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
