Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup strawberry preserves
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and sour cream until well combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter layer.
  6. Spoon the strawberry preserves evenly over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
  7. Pour the remaining cake batter over the top and spread to cover.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. Once the cake is done, remove from the oven and immediately pour the glaze evenly over the hot cake.
  11. Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra strawberry flavor, add fresh chopped strawberries on top before serving.
  • Best served warm but also tastes great at room temperature.
  • You can substitute strawberry preserves with raspberry or mixed berry if preferred.
