CAKE

GLAZE

FROSTING

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare the cake as directed on the cake box. Allow the baked cake to cool until it is just warm.
  • Poke holes all around the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon or a spatula with the holes spaced about ½ inch apart.
  • In a medium size heat-safe mixing bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, 5 tablespoons of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Microwave on high for 1 minute then stir well. Return the bowl to the microwave and heat for another minute and stir well until the brown sugar is well combined into the glaze.
  • Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake.
  • Add the cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter to a large mixing bowl and beat together with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add the vanilla extract, half & half, and 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar and beat on low speed with the electric mixer until combined. Continue beating the frosting and adding the remaining powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until all sugar is combined and the frosting is smooth.
  • Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cake with a spatula. Sprinkle the top of the cake with additional cinnamon, if desired. Slice the cake into squares and serve.
