Description

Ingredients

• 1 box white cake mix
• 1 c. whole milk
• ½ c. sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 - 12 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
• ½ c. butter, melted
• ½ c. packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 c. unsalted butter, softened
• 4 - 5 c. powdered sugar
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• ¼ c. milk or cream

Directions

• In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix, whole milk, sour cream, butter, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla.
• Divide batter evenly into two greased or parchment paper-lined 9-inch round cake pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Cool for 15 minutes before removing cakes from pans to wire racks.
• While cakes are still warm, gently poke holes with a fork, toothpick, or similar utensil, but not poking through the bottom of the cake.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Divide the sweetened condensed milk mixture between the two layers, drizzling it evenly over the top, keeping it away from the edges by about ½-inch. Use a knife or spoon to keep the mixture on the top of the cakes, and not down the sides. Allow the cakes to sit and absorb the mixture for about 5-10 minutes.
• Refrigerate cakes til firm, about 1 hour. This will make transferring them to a serving platter much easier. They become slightly fragile with all the holes.
• Meanwhile, prepare snickerdoodle buttercream.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, 4 c. powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and cream.
• Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Add more powdered sugar or cream as needed to achieve desired consistency. It should be thick and fluffy, but able to be piped.
• Beat an additional 3-5 minutes for fluffiness.
• Carefully transfer one cake to a serving platter. Spread it with a ¼-inch thick layer of buttercream. Arrange the second cake layer on top.
• Frost cake. Cut and serve.
