Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla or yellow cake mix plus the eggs, oil and water on the box
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Bake the cake in a greased 9x13 pan as the box directs. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Poke holes all over the warm cake with the handle of a wooden spoon.
  • Whisk the condensed milk, melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth.
  • Pour it slowly over the cake so it runs into the holes. Cool completely.
