🛒 Ingredients
1 box (about 15–18 oz) cake mix (any flavor: chocolate, vanilla, lemon, carrot, etc.)
3 large eggs
1 cup (240ml) whole milk

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) — or follow temp on cake mix box.

✅ For easy release: Use non-stick spray with flour.
2️⃣ Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine:
Cake mix

Bake 25–35 minutes (time varies by flavor and pan type).
