Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 box vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, and water. Stir all ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well blended, ensuring no lumps remain for a tender cake texture.
  3. Pour and Add Topping: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar uniformly over the top of the batter to add a sweet, spicy crust once baked.
  4. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the cake firm up for easier cutting. One slice is generous enough to be split into two servings, making this cake perfect for sharing.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overbake; the cake should be moist, not dry.
  • Use a toothpick test to check doneness.
  • Cinnamon sugar topping adds a nice crust, but you can adjust the amount to taste.
  • Sour cream helps keep the cake moist and tender.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated to extend freshness.
