Cinnamon Glaze Cake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Cake
01 -
1 box of yellow cake mix (brands like Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines work well)
02 -
1 block of cream cheese (8 oz), softened to room temp (can also use 8 oz sour cream as an alternative)
03 -
4 eggs
04 -
2/3 cup of oil
→ Cinnamon Filling
05 -
3/4 cup of brown sugar
06 -
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
→ Glaze
07 -
2 cups of powdered sugar
08 -
2-3 tablespoons of milk
09 -
1 teaspoon of vanilla
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F and grease up a 9×13 baking pan so the cake doesn’t stick.
02 -
Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese for about 30 seconds until fluffy. Add the eggs and whip it all together until smooth—don’t stop until those lumps are gone.
03 -
Toss in the cake mix and oil, then mix just until everything’s combined. Don’t overdo it—you don’t want to mess up the texture.
04 -
Pour half of the batter into your greased pan. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mix on top. Carefully spread the rest of the batter over that sugary layer.
05 -
Pop the pan into the oven for 30-35 minutes. Use a toothpick in the middle—it should come out clean when it’s done. Check after 20 minutes and cover with foil if it’s browning too fast.
06 -
Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. Use a fork or toothpick to poke holes throughout the surface so the glaze soaks in.
07 -
Combine all the glaze ingredients and whisk them together. Pour half of this over the warm cake, letting it seep into the holes. Once it’s cool (around 30 minutes), drizzle the rest on top.
# Notes:
01 -
Wait for the cake to fully cool before you slice it up.
02 -
Sour cream is a good swap for cream cheese if that’s more your thing.
