Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with baking spray, set aside.
Place the cake mix, vanilla pudding mix and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl. Whisk together to combine.
Add in the remaining ingredients (eggs, water, whole milk, vegetable oil, sour cream and vanilla extract) and whisk together just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. The edges of the cake will be golden brown.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and place onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, use a skewer to poke a lot of holes into the cake. In layers, pour the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy cream over the entire surface of the cake. Be sure to spread the milks to the edges of the cake and let them soak in before adding the next layer.
Cover cake with saran wrap or foil and place the cake in the fridge to continue soaking in the milk and chill for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours.
When ready to serve, spread the cool whip over the top of the cake and sprinkle with a thin layer of cinnamon. Slice and serve.
