Ingredients
– 1 box strawberry cake mix
– 4 large eggs
– 8 ounces softened cream cheese
– 2/3 cup vegetable oil
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 2 cups confectioners sugar
– ΒΌ cup whole milk
– 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
– Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
1-Gathering and Preparing: First, preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9Γ13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix, softened cream cheese, eggs, and vegetable oil until combined.
2-Mixing and Layering: In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the brown sugar cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter. Then, pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer.
3-Baking and Finishing: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake cools, prepare the icing by whisking together the confectioners sugar, whole milk, and strawberry extract. Add optional red food coloring drops to achieve a desired pink color and pour the icing over the warm cake. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving for the best taste!
Notes
π° Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for easier mixing.
π§ Let the cake cool fully before icing to prevent the glaze from melting.
π¨ Avoid stirring the cinnamon sugar layer to keep a nice swirl effect in the cake.
