Prep Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour| Yield: 1 tall cake or 3 single layer cakes

Ingredients:

• 1 box Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Golden cake mix (MUST be this one)
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Get out your mixer.
2. Combine all ingredients. Mix slowly for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl, and mix on medium for 2 minutes.
3. Pour into 3 (three)  8″ pans and bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. I’ve also made this in 2 (two) 9″ pans, and it turned out fine. Bake for 30 minutes if you do this.
