Instructions

- In another bowl, add the cake mix and cold butter. Cut the butter into the cake mix using a pastry cutter or your hands by squeezing the ingredients together. Note, you can also use a food processor because using your hands is very tiring. I also added the grating method below.

Grating the butter, place the butter in the freezer for 20 minutes then grate it. Spread the butter gratings across the top of the cake mix in the baking pan and it consistently reduces the dry spots.

Oh my goodness! This is the best recipe ever! So easy. So delicious. I took it to a meeting, and the pan was cleaned out. It was still warm when I got there. I also served it with vanilla ice cream. Very yummy. Thank you for sharing.
