Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the sponge cake. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, eggs, water, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the batter into a greased and lined 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The kitchen will be filled with a delightful aroma while it bakes! Once done, let it cool for about 10 minutes before flipping it onto a cooling rack. This step is crucial for achieving that lovely roll texture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
