With a moist, fluffy cake base, swirls of cinnamon sugar, and a luscious cream cheese frosting, this cake is perfect for holidays, special occasions, or whenever you’re craving something sweet and cozy.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix

  • 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 1 cup milk

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • ½ cup light brown sugar

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz block cream cheese, softened

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-12 cup Bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are well-coated to prevent sticking.

  • Make the Cake Batter
    In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix well using a hand mixer or whisk until the batter is smooth and fully combined.

  • Make the Cinnamon Swirl
    In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon until it forms a thick paste.

  • Layer the Cake
    Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Spread the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter, then top with the remaining cake batter.

  • Swirl the Cinnamon
    Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cake batter. Be careful not to overmix — you want the swirl to remain throughout the cake, not fully blended.

  • Bake
    Bake the cake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning in the last 10 minutes of baking.

  • Cool & Frost
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
    While the cake is cooling, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, and beat until light and fluffy.

 

  • Frost the Cake
    Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the top. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra cinnamon-sugar crunch, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top of the frosting.

If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the frosting.
