Think of it as a cinnamon hug in cake form—because who doesn’t need that?
Here’s the rundown:
We’re starting with a trusty box of yellow cake mix because why reinvent the wheel?
But we’re not stopping there.
No, honey, we’re going full diva mode by mixing in sour cream, milk, eggs, and—wait for it—butter. Melted, golden, glorious butter.
The secret? A brown sugar and cinnamon combo that’s going to make your house smell like a bakery from heaven.
You just pour, sprinkle, repeat, and bake. I mean, could this BE any easier? Nope!
So sit back, relax, and let this cinnamon-sugar wonder do all the impressing for you.
Cinnamon Coffee Cake Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
- 2 mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix because we’re fabulous AND practical
- 1 cup sour cream for that tangy moisture
- 1/2 cup milk whatever you have in the fridge works
- 3 large eggs preferably without cracking them on the floor
- 1/2 cup melted butter the key to happiness
- 1 cup brown sugar packed with love
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon or more if you're feeling spicy
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and try not to get distracted by your phone for 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, throw in your cake mix, sour cream, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix it up until it’s smoother than your best dance moves.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon—aka the dynamic duo.
- Pour half of your batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Don’t worry about being perfect, we’re not on a cooking show.
- Sprinkle half of your brown sugar mixture like you're sprinkling fairy dust—magic is happening, people!
- Pour the rest of the batter on top and finish it off with the remaining sugar-cinnamon goodness. It's a sugar shower, and we're all invited.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If it doesn't, just call it extra gooey and delicious!
- Let it cool (if you can resist) before serving yourself a slice of cinnamon heaven.

Diva's Sweet Suggestions
Add Nuts:
Throw in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts between the layers for some crunch. Fancy, huh?
Cream Cheese Swirl:
Drop dollops of softened cream cheese into the batter and swirl it around like you’re creating edible art. Creamy, dreamy, and divine.
Apple Addition:
Feeling fruity? Add 1 cup of diced apples to the batter and suddenly you’re serving up a cinnamon-apple delight. How do you do it? Magic!
Presentation Suggestions:
Serve this beauty warm from the oven on a vintage cake stand (because we’re feeling fancy), with a dusting of powdered sugar on top for that “just stepped out of a bakery” vibe.
Pair it with a steaming cup of coffee, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent.
