# Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven as per box directions. Prepare the cake batter following package instructions, then mix in ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
02 -
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon or spatula, create holes evenly across the top of the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
03 -
Combine sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Pour the mixture into the holes while the cake is still slightly warm.

In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable.

Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cake, ensuring it sinks into the holes. If you used the filling, chill the cake for 1 hour to set. Otherwise, slice and serve immediately.
