Ingredients
Filling Mixture
- 1 cup brown sugar {packed} I prefer dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Cake
- 1-15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4-6 tablespoons milk {or heavy cream}
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Filling
- Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix the two ingredients together.
Cake
- Combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream and vanilla extract to a medium bowl. Use a handheld mixer {or mix by hand} to mix the ingredients together until you have a thick batter.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared 9x13 baking pan and top with 2/3 of the filling mixture. Top with the remaining half of the cake batter and the remaining 1/3 of the filling mixture. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the ingredients together. NOTE: Be sure you are poking the knife or skewer into the bottom of the cake so that the filling is evenly distributed.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with only a few crumbs. Remove from the oven.
Glaze
- As soon as you pull the cake from the oven, combine the powdered sugar and milk. Whisk until smooth. Pour the glaze over the warm cake and spread out into an even layer.
- Serve warm and enjoy. Refrigerate leftovers for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Add 1/3 cup of chopped nuts to the cake batter or filling for added crunch.
