Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 box Yellow cake mix
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • ¾ cup Vegetable oil

Filing:

  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon

Icing:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 13x9 inch pan with a light coating of non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl combine yellow cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Use a handmixer to combine until smooth.
  • In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, stir together until well mixed.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the baking pan and spread it evenly over the bottom.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  • Spoon the remaining batter evenly over the brown sugar and then spread together to cover the brown sugar.
  • Place in the oven and bake on 350 F for 40 minutes.
  • While the cake bakes make your icing. In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir together until smooth.
  • When the cake comes out of the oven use a fork to prick the cake all over. This will allow the icing to soak in.
  • Pour the icing over the warm cake making sure to cover the entire top.
  • Let cool and serve.
