Cooling Time: 1hour
Total: 2hours 5minutes
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 ounces
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 4-5 tablespoons vanilla coffee creamer
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10 inch bundt pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, combine cake mix, oil, eggs, sour cream and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
-
In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
-
Spoon half the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture onto the cake batter and top with remaining half of batter. Use a skewer to swirl the brown sugar layer into batter.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan and allow the cake to thoroughly cool on a wire rack.

Once the cake is completely cool, prepare the icing. Whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla coffee creamer and drizzle over the cake.
Notes
- You can substitute the vanilla coffee creamer for 4 tablespoons milk and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
- Cake is best in the first 24 hours, but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
