Ingredients: 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix; 2/3 cup water; 3 eggs; 1/2 cup butter, softened; 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar; 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or to taste; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 1 1/2 cups butter; 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)

Servings: persons

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
2/3 cup water
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups butter
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12x18-inch jellyroll pan.
2
Beat the yellow cake mix, water, eggs, and 1/2 cup softened butter together with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour the cake batter into the prepared jellyroll pan.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cake are light brown but the middle of the cake is still slightly gooey, 15 to 17 minutes.
4
While the cake is baking, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, butter, and flour together in a large bowl until the mixture forms medium crumbs. Remove the cake from the oven, and press about 3/4 of the crumb topping onto the top of the almost-baked cake. Reserve the remaining topping.
5
Return the cake to the oven, and bake an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until the crumb topping is firm and the cake is cooked all the way through.
6
Remove the cake from the oven, and sprinkle with the remaining crumb topping. Let the cake cool to room temperature, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
