Add a layer of cake mix to the bottom of the baking dish to cover it.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

Add a layer of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the cake mix in the baking dish, ensuring it is completely covered.

Add the remaining cake mix on top of the brown sugar layer and smooth it out to the edges.

Use a butter knife to make swirls through the cake mix to incorporate the brown sugar mixture.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the cake for 50 minutes or until golden brown.

Once the cake is done baking, pour the glaze over the hot cake immediately.

Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.
