Ingredients

  • 1 15.25 oz yellow or white boxed cake mix
  • 3 eggs or 3 eggs whites depending on your cake mix
  • 1 cup of water
  • cup oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon divided
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 8 pz tub whipped topping
  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine your cake mix, oil or butter, water, eggs and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • When cake batter is combined pour into the baking dish and bake for 30-35
  • minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Set cake aside to cool.
  • When cake is cool use a large straw or end of a wooden spoon to poke holes in
  • the cake.
  • Make the filling by combining the sweetened condensed milk with the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Pour the milk mixture all over the cake so it gets into all the holes you created.
  • Next spread the whipped topping all over the cake.
  • Top with however much lightly crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal you like. I used about 2 cups.
  • Refrigerate for 4 hours.
  • Serve!

Notes

  • Make sure you follow the instructions on the box mix regarding whole eggs versus egg whites. If you use white cake, you'll likely need only the whites.
  • Let the cake cool thoroughly before you fill and frost it. If it is still warm, the whipped topping will melt.
  • Refrigerating the cake after it's filled and frosted lets the cake set and absorb the condensed milk so it's nice and moist. Don't skip this step.
