- 1 box white or yellow cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)

Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare the cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish. Mix and bake the cake according to package instructions.
- Poke holes and add cinnamon sugar: Once baked, cool the cake and poke holes using a wooden spoon handle. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the warm cake.
