  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick or 1/4 lb, sliced thin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional, for added warmth
  • Optional: chopped pecans sea salt, or vanilla ice cream for topping

Instructions

  • Top with Butter:
  • Distribute the butter slices evenly over the top of the dry cake mix, covering as much as possible.
  • Bake:
