Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, softened cream cheese, eggs, and vegetable oil. Blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the first layer of batter.
  5. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  8. Whisk together the milk with your icing ingredients until smooth.
  9. Once the cake has cooled slightly, pour the icing over the top.
  10. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
