Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) butter yellow cake mix
- 1 container (8 ounces) sour cream
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup (163.5 g) vegetable oil
- ½ cup water
Cinnamon Swirl
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 2 cups (250 g) confectioners' sugar
- ¼ cup (61 g) whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- To a small bowl, add brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir to thoroughly combine. Set aside.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the brown sugar mixture. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the batter and sugar mixture together, creating a marble pattern. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake for 38-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
