Method
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Make the Cinnamon Swirl
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Gradually add the melted butter until it forms a crumbly blend.
Cake Assembly and Baking
Pour half of the cake batter into a greased bundt pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture on top.
Pour the remaining cake batter over the swirl. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Make the Cream Cheese Glaze
While the cake is baking, beat the softened cream cheese and ½ cup butter in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until the glaze is creamy.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
Cool and Glaze
Once baked, let the cake cool for about 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze on top and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the glaze.
