Ingredients

• 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) Yellow cake mix
• 4 whole Eggs
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is well combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the layer of batter.

Step 6

Pour the remaining cake batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, spreading it gently to cover.

Step 7

Use a butter knife to swirl the layers together slightly by making figure-eight patterns through the batter.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.

Step 10

When the cake is finished baking, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the glaze over the hot cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
