Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the cake mix with water until everything’s well combined and moist. Pour this batter into a 10-inch tube pan and pop it in the oven. Bake until the top turns a nice golden brown, cracks a little, and looks dry—this usually takes about 38 to 48 minutes. Once it’s done, let the cake sit out for at least 8 hours, or even overnight, to set.

Step 2
When you’re ready to make the French toast, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Slice the cake into 12 pieces, then dip each slice into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.

Step 3
Heat some butter in a large skillet over medium heat, just enough to cover the surface. Cook the cake slices in batches, flipping once, until both sides are golden and slightly crispy—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve warm and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar for a bright, sweet contrast. A drizzle of maple syrup or a spoonful of whipped cream adds extra indulgence. Pair with a cup of coffee or fresh orange juice for a balanced meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the crisp edges. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
