Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ¾ cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.

Step 2

Whisk together cake mix, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, and water in a large bowl until smooth. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour 1/2 of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over batter. Pour remaining batter on top; gently swirl batter a few times with a table knife.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

Step 4

Make icing: Stir together confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and runny. Pour over hot cake; allow to cool before serving.
