Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the cake mix package instructions.
- Prepare and bake the cake in a 9×13 inch pan following the package directions.
- Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake.
