Ingredients
For The Cake:
- 1 box 15.25 oz vanilla cake mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
For The Glaze / Frosting:

- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 tablespoon milk

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Get The Oven Ready
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats up, grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish so the cake doesn’t stick.
Mix The Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the oil, eggs, boiling water, and Fireball whiskey. Beat everything together using a mixer or a whisk until the batter is smooth this should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Bake It
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean.
Cool Down
- Take the cake out of the oven and let it sit in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes. After that, carefully move it to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Make The Glaze
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter. Then add powdered sugar, lemon extract, milk, a splash of Fireball, and a pinch of salt. Mix until it’s nice and smooth. If you want to pour it over the cake, warm it slightly; if you prefer to spread it, leave it thick.
Finish And Serve
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread or drizzle the glaze over the top. Give it about 10 minutes to set, then slice and enjoy.
