Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a plastic bowl, combine the Pillsbury Moist Supreme yellow cake mix, using 1 cup of milk instead of water, 1/2 cup of oil (or butter), and 4 eggs.

Add about 2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract to the mixture.

Mix the ingredients together with a whisk until combined, leaving a few lumps.

Spray the bottom and sides of the pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Pour about half of the cake batter into the bottom of the pan.

Sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar and Cinnamon Toast Crunch CAD dust over the first layer of batter.

Pour the remaining cake batter on top of the brown sugar and cinnamon layer.

Use a fork to swirl the layers together slightly.

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

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before preparing the glaze.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups of powdered sugar with milk, adding the milk a little at a time until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to melt slightly into the cake.
