In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, and sour cream.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are mixed well.

In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined.

Spray a 13x9 casserole dish with non-stick spray.

Pour half of the cake batter into the casserole dish and smooth it out evenly.

Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the first layer of batter.

Pour the remaining batter on top and smooth it out evenly.

Use a butter knife to swirl through the batter to create a ripple effect.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, checking at 25 minutes for doneness.
