Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • Ingredients from the back of box water, oil, eggs
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened
  • ⅓ cup butter room temp
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the cake batter according to the directions on the box. Pour it into the prepared pan and bake as directed.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  • Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a thick straw to poke hole evenly across the top of the cake.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Slowly pour the cinnamon mixture over the cake, making sure it fills the holes. Use a spatula to spread any remaining mixture evenly over top. A food syringe can also help push the filling into the holes.
  • Place the cake in the refrigerator and chill it for one hour.
  • To prepare the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until smooth.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add milk a small amount at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the chilled cake. Slice, serve and enjoy!
