Ingredients

Scale

Cake Base

  • 1 (16.5oz) box white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 eggs

Cinnamon Filling

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)

Glaze

  • 2 oz cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

For the Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray 9×13 pan with a nonstick cooking spray.

  2. In a large bowl, add white cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, milk eggs, and mix until well combined, then spread batter evenly into your baking dish.

For the Filling

  1. In a small bowl, add butter, cinnamon, sugar, and stir until well combined. Drop dollops of the cinnamon filling into the cake batter, then using a butter knife, swirl it to incorporate the two.

  2. Bake the cake for about 30 minutes, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean

For the Glaze

  1. Whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.

  2. Pour the glaze over the warm cake and serve.

Notes

Mix eggs in a small bowl before adding it to the cake mixture. This will help distribute the eggs evenly.
