Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package brown sugar caramel pound cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (177 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar
Spice and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon maple seasoning
Dairy and Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 ounces (85 g) cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 325°F and coating a 13×9-inch pan with a light greasing layer to prevent sticking.
- Craft the base mixture by combining the Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake Mix with vegetable oil and eggs, blending initially on low speed for 30 seconds, then elevating to medium speed for 2 minutes while periodically scraping down the bowl’s sides to ensure uniform incorporation.
- Create a cinnamon sugar topping by thoroughly mixing light brown sugar with Cinnamon Maple Seasoning in a separate container, then generously distributing the mixture across the cake’s surface.
- Delicately weave the cinnamon sugar into the batter using a butter knife, creating elegant swirling patterns that will marble through the cake during baking.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick emerges clean when inserted into the cake’s center, indicating perfect doneness.
- Allow the cake to rest and slightly cool for 20 minutes, which helps stabilize its structure and enhances flavor development.
- Prepare the cream cheese icing by gently warming the cream cheese in the microwave for 15 seconds, then whisking it smooth with the second packet of Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake Mix.
- Gradually incorporate milk into the mixture, adjusting until the icing reaches a desired consistency that will drape beautifully over the warm cake.
- Elegantly drizzle the completed icing across the cake’s surface, creating an appetizing presentation that invites immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Enhance the cake’s moisture by replacing vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor profile.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven’s performance, checking cake doneness at 30 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Customize the cinnamon swirl by adding chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips for extra texture and depth.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting the cake mix with a gluten-free alternative and using almond flour for added richness.
