Directions

  1. Grease and flour a cookie sheet with sides (11 x 17 or 10 1/2 x 15) just watch the time.
  2. Mix cake using above ingredients.
  3. Spread in cookie sheet.
  4. Bake 350° for 20 minutes (20 minutes is the time for the 10 1/2 x 15 pan), so a little less time if you are using the bigger pan.
