Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. I love how the scent of the cake mix fills my kitchen; it brings back so many happy memories! Blend the mixture on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Once it’s ready, pour the batter into the greased 9×13-inch baking pan and pop it in the oven. While it bakes, the aroma will be heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
