- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
For the Frosting:

Instructions
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake in a 9×13-inch pan according to the package directions. Let it cool for 10–15 minutes.
