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:
- Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
- Spray 13x9 baking dish with nonstick spray (I like the kind that has flour in it).
- In a medium bowl stir together the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and oil and mix until well-incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until well-blended; set aside.
- Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 13×9 pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Add all of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture to the top, covering the entire layer of batter.
- Pour the rest of the cake batter on top, and spread the batter out as evenly as possible.
- Place the cake into the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- 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.
- When the cake comes out of the oven, immediately pour glaze onto the hot cake.
- Spread it out evenly.
- 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!
