Ingredients
- Cake Mix (the flavor you like best): 1 box
- Large Eggs: 3
- Whole Milk: 1 cup (240 ml)
Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven (10 minutes)
- Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to the temperature indicated on the cake mix box. Preheating ensures that your cake bakes evenly and turns out perfectly.
- Prepare the Cake Pan: Grease and flour your cake pan. You can choose between a round or square pan, depending on your preference.
Tip: If you want to add a fun twist, use a themed cake pan for a special occasion.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients (5 minutes)
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and whole milk.
- Mix Well: Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
Tip: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a handful of chocolate chips.
Step 3: Bake the Cake (25-30 minutes)
- Pour the Batter: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for the time specified on the cake mix box, usually around 25-30 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tip: Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking, as this can cause the cake to sink.
Step 4: Cool and Serve (15 minutes)
- Cool the Cake: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a Wire Rack: Carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice the cake and serve as is, or top with your favorite frosting, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
Tip: For a festive touch, dust the cake with powdered sugar or add a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
