Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix it all together until well blended, and you’ll get a thick batter that smells amazing already. Press this mixture into the bottom of your greased 9×13-inch baking dish, creating an even layer. It’s okay if it looks a bit crumbly; that’s just the nature of the base! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
