Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 yellow cake mix I like Duncan Hines Just use the mix, don’t not follow the directions on the back!
  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ cup canola or vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup instant vanilla pudding (just the dry mix, not prepared)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Cinnamon Swirl & Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350; grease 9x13 metal pan.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the cake in a mixer for 7 minutes (this is key to make the pudding set). I love to use my Kitchen Aid mixer for this!
  • Meanwhile, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Once the cake is done mixing for 7 minutes, pour half of the batter in the greased 9x13 metal pan. Sprinkle ½ of the brown sugar mix over the cake in the pan.
  • Pour the remaining batter on and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
  • Place in oven and bake 25-35 minutes. Or until the cake is set and is pulling away from the edges. Let it completely cool so it does crumble when you cut and serve it.
