1 KitchenAid Mixer whisk attachment
1 Bundt cake pan

Ingredients

1 box Duncan Hines Signature German Chocolate Cake mix
1 cup water
3 large eggs
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

Prep:

Preheat the oven to 350°F for metal and glass pan(s) and 325°F for dark or coated pan(s). Add 3 - 5 minutes for dark or coated pan(s).
Grease the sides and bottom of your chosen pan(s) and flour lightly OR use PAM baking spray. Use baking cups for cupcakes. We chose a bundt pan, so we sprayed it with PAM spray generously!

Cake Batter

Blend cake mix, water, oil and eggs in a large bowl at low speed until moistened (just about 30 seconds). Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter in pan(s) and bake immediately.

Baking:

Bake in the center of the oven following the chart below. Add 3 - 5 minutes for dark or coated pan(s). The cake is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool the cake(s) in the pan(s) on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Remove the cake(s) from the pan(s) and cool completely before frosting.
