To prepare, you typically combine the contents of the cake mix with a few wet ingredients, such as eggs, oil, and water, as instructed on the packaging. These are then mixed until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which can result in a tough cake. The batter is then poured into a prepared baking pan and baked in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of baking chocolate will fill your kitchen.
