Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get baking! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s warm and ready to embrace that cake batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, buttermilk, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. I like to use an electric mixer for this part because it really helps get that batter nice and fluffy. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth—your kitchen will soon smell like heaven! Now, pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and pop it in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Don’t forget to set a timer!
