Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish or pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and sour cream. Using an electric hand mixer, or a wooden spoon, mix everything together until well combined and creamy.
  • In a small mixing bowl, add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
  • Pour 1/2 of the cake batter into the greased baking dish and spread out evenly. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the layer of batter. Carefully pour and spread the rest of the batter over the layer of sugar and cinnamon.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the layer of batter. Carefully pour and spread the rest of the batter over the layer of sugar and cinnam
  • Place the cake in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. Use a toothpick to check the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is cooked through. Remove the cake from the oven and set it on your stovetop while you prepare the icing.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Using a fork, prick the surface of the warm cake in several areas so the icing can soak into the cake a bit. Spread the icing evenly over the warm cake. Set aside for about 1 hour until the cake cools and the icing solidifies to form a glaze.
  • Cut the cake into 12 squares and enjoy or cover the cake and store until ready to serve.
  • Enjoy!
