Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, cream cheese, eggs, and vegetable oil and blend until smooth.
  3. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  4. Mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it over the first layer of batter.
  5. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon swirl layer, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, performing a toothpick test to check for doneness.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then prepare the icing.
  8. Mix powdered sugar with milk to create a smooth, pourable icing, then drizzle it over the warm cake.
