Ingredients
Cake
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 large eggs
- ⅔ cup oil
- 15.25 oz yellow cake mix box or homemade substitute
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13"x9" inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add eggs, oil and the cake mix. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. If adding pecans, mix in as well.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter.
- Dollop the remaining cake batter over the top of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Spread in an even layer for full cake coverage.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- When the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it cool for 5 minutes. Poke holes over the entire cake.
- Drizzle the glaze over the top of the warm cake. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
