Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the edges, and spray the parchment with baking spray.
Place the drained sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until mostly smooth.
Add the cake mix, 2 eggs, melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the bowl and mix well.
Spread the cake batter evenly in the prepared pan.
In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar, cream cheese, the remaining 2 eggs, and the remaining 0.5 tsp vanilla extract; mix well and pour over the top of the cake batter.
Bake the cake until the edges are set, the sides begin to pull away, and the center is slightly jiggly, about 30–35 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan so the layers settle before cutting into squares.
