Honey Bun Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 box super moist yellow cake mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2/3 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4-6 tbsp. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
  2. Spray 13x9 baking dish with nonstick spray (I like the kind that has flour in it).
  3. In a medium bowl stir together the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and oil and mix until well-incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until well-blended; set aside.
  5. Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 13×9 pan, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Add all of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture to the top, covering the entire layer of batter.
  7. Pour the rest of the cake batter on top, and spread the batter out as evenly as possible.
  8. Place the cake into the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is baking, make the glaze. In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until glaze is of desired consistency. I like mine a bit thick but still pourable.
  10. When the cake comes out of the oven, immediately pour glaze onto the hot cake.
  11. Spread it out evenly.
  12. Let the cake sit for a few minutes so the glaze can set and serve warm or at room temperature.

 

Cook's Note: I really enjoy this cake slightly warm. To heat it up a bit, just put a slice in the microwave for about 15 seconds.

 

Enjoy!
