- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and whole milk. Use a whisk or electric mixer on medium speed to blend until the batter is smooth and velvety. This step is where the magic begins—imagine the delightful aroma and taste of the finished cake as you mix!
Step 3: Bake and Enjoy (Time as indicated on cake mix box)
- Pour the Batter: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and let it bake for the time specified on the cake mix box. As it bakes, your kitchen will fill with a warm, inviting aroma—a preview of the delicious treat to come!
- Check for Doneness: Once the baking time is nearly up, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, your cake is perfectly baked and ready to be enjoyed.
Tips for Success
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter just until smooth to prevent the cake from becoming dense.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps it set and makes frosting easier if desired.
- Customize: Add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or flavor extracts to the batter for a personalized touch.
