Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Let it heat fully before baking. This helps the cake bake evenly and rise properly.
Prepare the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, add cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Mix using a whisk or mixer until smooth. Do not overmix to keep the cake soft.
Grease the Pan
- Grease your cake pan with oil or butter. You can also line it with baking paper. This prevents the cake from sticking.
Pour the Batter
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula. Tap the pan lightly to remove air bubbles.
Bake the Cake
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. The top should turn light golden and a toothpick should come out clean.
Cool the Cake
- Remove the cake from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool fully.
Frost the Cake
- Once cool, you can add frosting or cream. Spread evenly for a smooth finish. You can also decorate with sprinkles.
Slice and Serve
- Cut into slices and serve fresh. Enjoy the soft and fluffy texture with your favorite topping.
Notes
- Add milk instead of water for richer taste
- Use butter instead of oil for flavor
- Add chocolate chips for variation
- Add lemon zest for fresh taste
- Do not overmix batter
- Use room temperature eggs
