An ordinary vanilla cake is made extraordinary with the addition of a cinnamon swirl baked inside. This Snickerdoodle Bundt Cake has all the cozy flavors you love and the best part is how simple it is to make using a box cake mix.

Ingredients

Scale

Vanilla Cake

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
  • 1/3 cup granulated or sanding sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a Bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Beat using a hand or stand mixer until well blended and thick. Set aside.

  • Make the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter until fully combined.

  • Assemble the cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Spoon over half of the cinnamon swirl mixture. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon into the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and swirl mixture.

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

  • Invert the cake onto a serving plate and let cool completely.

  • Make the cream cheese glaze: Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until a thick frosting forms. (If too thick, microwave for 20 seconds or add 1 tablespoon milk.)

  • Transfer glaze to a piping or zipper bag. Snip the tip and drizzle over the cake in a zigzag pattern.

  • Add cinnamon sugar: Before the glaze sets, mix the cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle over the glaze to finish.

  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

If the cake sticks slightly to the pan, gently run a knife around the edges to release it.

This cake freezes well for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly before freezing.
