Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and one egg. This will create the base layer of your cake, and let me tell you—the smell of the melting butter mixed with the sweet cake mix is simply heavenly! Once everything is well combined, spread this golden mixture evenly in the bottom of your greased baking pan. I like using a spatula to make sure it’s nice and smooth.
