Ingredients
For the cake
- 1 box vanilla cake
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup Fireball whisky
For the filling and frosting
- 2 cups caramel sauce
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup Fireball whisky
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- Pinch kosher salt
- Yellow and red food coloring
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9-x-13” pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together cake mix and cinnamon, then stir in vegetable oil, eggs, water and Fireball. Bake according to package directions and let cool completely.
- Step 2Using the back of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over cake. Pour caramel over holes, using the wooden spoon to spread caramel as necessary.
- Step 3Make Fireball frosting: In a large bowl, combine butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup Fireball. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Add the remaining 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Gently stir in yellow food coloring, then red, being careful not to over mix (you want it to be streaky).
- Step 4Using an offset spatula, spread frosting over cake.
