  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Let’s get to the heart of the matter—what you’ll need to whip up this delightful cake. I’ve tweaked and tested this combo until it was just right.

  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

If you’re out of sour cream, plain Greek yogurt works just as well. And if you’re like my mom, who could make magic happen with just a few spices, you might even experiment with adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for a different twist.

Instructions

Ready to bake? Let’s get started on this delicious journey.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth. This is where I always let my kids help—mixing is their favorite part!
  3. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  5. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and spread it out gently.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, melted butter, strawberry preserves, and vanilla extract.
  8. Once the cake is slightly cooled, pour the icing over the top, spreading it evenly. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.
