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

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.

Make and bake cake as directed on box, using water, vegetable oil and eggs and adding cinnamon and vanilla.
3

While cake is baking, in small bowl, mix Cereal Crumble ingredients. Spread in ungreased shallow baking pan; set aside.
4

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.
5

When cake has cooled 5 minutes, with handle of wooden spoon (1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter), poke holes almost to bottom of cake every 1/2 inch, wiping spoon handle occasionally to reduce sticking.

In medium bowl, stir together Filling ingredients (mixture will thicken). Pour over cake; spread evenly over surface, working back and forth to fill holes. (Some filling should remain on top of cake.) Refrigerate 1 hour.
