Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the chocolate cake mix. In my kitchen, this usually means setting it to 350°F (175°C) for a nice, even bake. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix with the ingredients listed on the box. I like to use an electric mixer—it makes everything so smooth and fluffy! Once that’s done, pour the batter into your greased 9×13 inch baking pan and pop it in the oven. Bake it until a toothpick comes out clean, which typically takes about 30-35 minutes. Oh, the smell that fills my kitchen during this time! It’s pure magic. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
