Can I use a different cake mix flavor instead of a yellow cake mix for this recipe?

While the classic recipe uses a yellow cake mix, you can experiment with other flavors to suit your taste. However, keep in mind that it may alter the overall flavor and texture of the cake.

Is it essential to use sour cream in the cake batter, or are there substitutes?

Sour cream adds moisture and a slight tang to the cake. You can substitute it with plain yogurt or buttermilk, but sour cream is recommended for the best results.

Can I make this cake ahead of time, and how should I store it?

Yes, you can make the cake in advance. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.

Can I use a different type of pan if I don't have a bundt cake pan?

You can use a regular cake pan, but the baking time may vary. Keep a close eye on it and perform the toothpick test to check for doneness.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a bundt cake pan with baking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, take the cake mix, eggs, water, sour cream, vanilla extract cinnamon, and mix well with an electric mixer or a handheld mixer.
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and mix well with a fork to combine.
Pour half of your cake mixture into the prepared bundt cake pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top of the first half of the cake mix. Pour the remaining cake batter on top of the brown sugar sugar. Smooth the top and use a sharp knife or long tooth pick and swirl the cake mix and cinnamon sugar mixture together. Don’t over-swirl. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
Remove from the oven when a toothpick can be inserted and it comes out clean. Allow it to cool for about 15-20 minutes flip it onto the cooling rack and allow it to continue to cool.
In a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract and mix together until smooth. Pour over the cake and allow the glaze to set and serve.
