Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. If you’ve ever gotten a whiff of moist cake batter, you know how intoxicating it is! Mix them on medium speed for about 2 minutes until you have a smooth, luscious batter. I find that scraping down the sides of the bowl helps incorporate everything fully. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
