Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease my baking pan to ensure the cake comes out nicely. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the butter cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs—beating them together until the mixture is smooth. This batter smells incredible as the ingredients come together, and I can’t help but taste a little bit! Once combined, I pour the batter into my greased pan and bake it for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Just imagining the aroma filling my kitchen is delightful!
