\n
1: Bake the Cake: Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F and spray a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish; prepare and bake cake according to package directions, watching closely as box cakes often bake faster than listed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
2: Poke the Holes: Let cake cool until slightly warm, then use the end of a wooden or silicone spoon handle to poke holes about \u00bd inch apart across the entire surface.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
3: Make the Cinnamon Sauce: In a heat-safe bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk; microwave 1 minute, stir, heat another minute, stir again, then continue in 30-second intervals until smooth and lump-free.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
4: Soak the Cake: Carefully ladle the warm cinnamon mixture evenly over the cake, gently pressing it into the holes; tap the pan lightly on the counter to help the sauce settle deep inside.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
5: Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth; reduce speed and add vanilla, half and half, and powdered sugar gradually, then beat until light and creamy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
6: Frost Generously: Spoon frosting over the cake and smooth evenly with a spatula while the cake is fully cooled.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
7: Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow everything to set and the flavors to deepen.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u25cf Poke holes while cake is slightly warm so the sauce sinks in beautifully.<\/div>\n
\u25cf Clear vanilla keeps the frosting bright white, but regular vanilla works just fine.<\/div>\n
\u25cf For extra flair, drizzle melted white icing in swirl patterns on top.<\/div>\n
\u25cf Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
