Ingredients

• 1 cup margarine
• 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup nonfat dry milk powder
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ½ cup dry potato flakes
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 4 cups baking mix (such as Bisquick ®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 11x17-inch jelly roll pan.

Step 2

Mix baking mix, potato flakes, sugar, and milk powder together in a bowl. Add beer, eggs, and oil. Mix well and pour into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Melt brown sugar, margarine, and cinnamon together in a saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Pour half of the mixture over the cake batter.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Pour remaining brown sugar mixture over cake, covering the entire surface. Return to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes more.
