Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish. Then, go ahead and prepare the German chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. I usually use my electric mixer to ensure everything is well combined and fluffy. Once that’s done, pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. And here’s a little secret: I love letting the cake cool slightly before poking it! This helps retain some moisture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
