Ingredients

  • 5 cups cold milk divided
  • 3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal divided
  • 16-18.25- ounce box yellow cake mix
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup butter melted
  • 2 3.4-ounces each packs instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 8 ounce package frozen whipped topping thawed (i.e. Cool Whip)

Instructions

  • Add 1 cup cereal to 1 cup milk and let soak for 10 minutes. Strain and reserve milk.
  • Prepare a 9x13 cake pan with nonstick cooking spray (or grease and flour it). Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, add cake mix, cinnamon, eggs, cereal milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter and mix until well incorporated.
  • Pour cake batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven as directed on cake box (approximately 27-28 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean).
  • Remove cake from oven and allow to cool 30 minutes.
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes throughout the top of the cake.
  • Prepare instant pudding with cold milk in a mixing bowl, then pour slowly over top of cake.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Top with container of whipped topping, then sprinkle cereal over top, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Want even more cereal milk flavor? Soak the milk for the pudding in cereal too!
  • When you strain your cereal make sure that you get 1 cup cereal milk (for the cake). If you end up with less milk from soaking the cereal, just add milk to make 1 cup.
