Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ golden cake mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 cup coarsely crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ cereal
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1 box (6-serving size) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
  • 3 cups cold milk

  • 3 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed

    Remove cake from oven to cooling rack; cool 5 minutes. Place cereal crumble in oven; bake at 350°F for 7 minutes. When baked, remove from pan to paper towels or flat paper bag.
