Decadent Vanilla Cake Delight

Ingredients

- 1 box vanilla cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, 3 large eggs, 1 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and continue beating for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

3. Grease and Flour the Cake Pan
Choose a 9x13 inch baking pan and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or non-stick spray. Dust with a small amount of flour to prevent the cake from sticking, and gently tap out any excess flour.

4. Pour and Level the Batter
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly, ensuring it reaches all corners of the pan for a flat bake.

5. Bake the Cake
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

6. Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Serve and Enjoy
After the cake has completely cooled, it's ready to be served. Cut into desired portions and enjoy this delightful dessert with your choice of toppings or decorations.
