Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, strawberry pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cinnamon, brown sugar, and white sugar.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the top and swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter using a knife or skewer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the cake while it is still warm.

Notes

Add fresh strawberries to the batter or top the cake for a fruity twist.
For added crunch, incorporate chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Swap the glaze for cream cheese frosting if you prefer a thicker topping.
To make dairy-free, use dairy-free milk and sour cream alternatives.
The cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or refrigerated for a week.
Freeze for up to 3 months if needed, ensuring it is tightly wrapped.
