Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
