Preparation

  • Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the chocolate cake mix box.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix with eggs, water, and oil. Stir until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  • Grease a baking dish well and pour in the batter. Bake for the time specified on the cake mix package.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting it into squares.

Assembly

  • Cut the cooled cake into squares that fit nicely inside the slider buns.
  • Open each slider bun and place a square of cake inside.
