Ingredients

1 (15.25-ounce/432-g) box yellow cake mix
3 large eggs

¾ cup vegetable oil (180ml)
1 cup sour cream (240g)

1 cup packed light brown sugar (220g)
1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
4 teaspoons whole milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Set the oven temperature to 350°F. Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.

Mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, and sour cream together in a sizable mixing basin until well combined.

Mix the cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl until well blended.

Pour half of the batter into the pan that has been prepared. After adding the cinnamon sugar mixture, pour the remaining batter on top. Generously stir the batter using the knife tip.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the sides are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few wet crumbs. Give the pan a few minutes to cool.

Mix the milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a small mixing dish until well combined. Pour over the warm cake and allow it cool fully.

Notes

Swirl the cake batter generously. This will marble the cinnamon sugar layer, giving the cake a beautiful appearance when cut and helping the cinnamon flavor spread evenly throughout.

Thin the vanilla glaze if needed. Whisk in additional milk by the teaspoon to thin the glaze if desired or until it is spreadable but not runny.

Spread the glaze on the warm cake. The heat of the cake will help the glaze spread easily and soak into the cake a bit. Lightly and carefully spread the glaze so it doesn’t tear the top of the cake or spread around crumbs.
