Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 9×13 inch baking pan
- Spatula
- Cooling rack
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 box of butter golden cake mix
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting (Optional)
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter softened
- 3 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until it’s smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
Pour and Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
Prepare the Frosting (Optional)
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Frost the Cake
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top. You can also add decorative touches like sprinkles, fruit, or chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
When baking, always ensure that your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. This helps in achieving a smooth batter and even baking.
