Ingredients

1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for pan

All-purpose flour (for pan)

Homemade Yellow Cake Mix

3 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups favorite frosting

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 13x9" baking dish.

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cake mix, eggs, vanilla, 1/3 cup oil, and 1 cup water in a large bowl until combined, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cake until surface springs back to the touch and cake is set and golden brown, 25–30 minutes. Let cool completely, then turn out onto a platter before frosting.

Cake can be made 3 days ahead; store at room temperature.
