Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. I love using an electric mixer here for a fluffy texture, but a good old whisk works wonders too! Beat the mixture until everything is combined and you have a smooth batter. I always get excited as the rich aroma fills my kitchen already! Once ready, pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and pop it into the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
