Ingredients

1/2 box butter recipe yellow cake mix (about 1 2/3 cups)
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 °F (325 °F for dark or nonstick pan). Generously spray bottom and side of 8- or 9-inch round cake pan with baking spray with flour.
In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, 3 tablespoons butter, the almond extract and egg with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
