Ingredients
- 1 box of Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a bundt pan or a 10-inch tube pan. This helps prevent the cake from sticking and ensures a nice, even bake.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and butter.
- Use an electric mixer on low speed to blend until all ingredients are combined.
- Increase to medium speed and beat for 3 minutes, until the batter is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 3: Add Vanilla for Extra Flavor
- Add vanilla extract and give the batter one final mix. This adds a layer of flavor that complements the cake’s buttery richness.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
- Carefully invert the pan onto a wire rack and remove the cake. Let it cool completely before slicing.
