To prepare, you typically combine the cake mix with wet ingredients such as eggs, oil, and water, as instructed on the packaging. These ingredients are then mixed until just combined, avoiding overmixing to ensure a tender crumb. The batter is poured into a prepared baking pan or cupcake liners and baked in a preheated oven. Once baked, it can be cooled and frosted or served plain.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused cake mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This helps maintain the freshness of the ingredients and prevents moisture absorption, ensuring good results for future baking.
