Preheat oven to 325°F.

In a large bowl, combine 1 box of yellow cake mix, 4 eggs, 3/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup of sour cream using a hand mixer until well mixed.

Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, about 4 cups.

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

Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the batter in the pan using your hands.

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

Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter gently.

Bake the cake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting by mixing 2 cups of powdered sugar, 4 tablespoons of milk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before spreading the frosting on top while it's still warm.
