In a bowl, combine 1 cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and mix together.

In a separate bowl, add 4 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 block of room temperature cream cheese.

Use a hand mixer to mix the wet ingredients until smooth.

Add 1 box of yellow cake mix to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Spray a 9x13 inch glass baking pan with cooking spray.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

Sprinkle half of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the batter in the pan.

Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer and spread it out evenly.

Sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top of the second layer of batter.

Poke holes in the cake with a fork while it's still hot after baking.

In a bowl, mix together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to make the icing.

Pour the icing over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.

Let the cake sit before cutting and serving.
