Mixing

In the mixing step you will mix 3 different things to make this cake a success.

Step 1: You will mix ingredients to make the actual cake. Add eggs, canola oil, sour cream & cake mix of your choice in large mixing bowl. Stir well so that all lumps and cake mix is a solid.

Step 2: Mix 2 tsp cinnamon & brown sugar. I use 1/2 cup brown sugar because I find, when using a full up; it tends to be a little sweeter than I desire. You can definitely use the full up if you prefer. These ingredients will make the filling. The filling will be use to coat the bottom of the pan to make a crunchy layer.

Step 3: Making the glaze for the top of cake. Mix 2 cups of confectioners sugar, 2 tsp of vanilla extract, & 2 tbsp of milk. When adding milk you want to be very careful not to add to much.

Baking

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Sprinkle bottom of pan with cinnamon & brown sugar mix.

Add remaining cake mixture to pan.

with a knife, make long swirls throughout cake.

Bake for 40-25 minutes

while the cake is baking make glaze and set aside. I like to make my glaze as soon as I get the cake in the oven. I like to think it becomes more flavorful.

Add Glaze to Cake

This is what you glaze should look like & how you should pour it through you swirled baked cake.

Final Step

Once cake is done, pour glaze on top while still hot. Let cool & serve. EATING WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM WILL BE EVEN BETTER.
