Cinnamon Pecan Bliss Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix with the melted butter, stirring well until the mixture is crumbly. Spread this evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

3. Create the Cinnamon Mixture:
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and melted butter until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake batter in the dish.

4. Bake the Cake Base:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately PT25M (25 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

5. Infuse with Sweetened Condensed Milk:
Once the cake base is baked, remove it from the oven and gently poke holes all over the cake using a skewer or the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

6. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
In a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon, and continue beating until fully incorporated.

7. Frost the Cake:
Allow the cake to cool completely. Once cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.

8. Garnish with Pecans:
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the frosted cake as a delicious crunchy topping.

9. Serve:
Slice and enjoy the luxurious blend of cinnamon and pecans with the creamy frosting.
