Honeybun Cake
Honey bun cake is a super moist cake swirled with cinnamon and sugar and covered in a delicious vanilla glaze. Absolutely mouthwatering, this tried and true recipe tastes like a cinnamon roll but in cake form!
Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 ounces box yellow cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze:
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoon milk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine cake mix, eggs, sour cream and oil in a large bowl and whisk together until well blended; set aside.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Spread half of the cake batter into a greased 9x13-inch cake pan.
- Sprinkle with half of the brown sugar and cinnamon, covering the entire cake. Spread the rest of the cake batter over layer and top with remaining sugar and cinnamon.
- Use a knife and swirl the batter. Don't swirl too much though, because you want to have pockets of cinnamon and sugar.
- Bake for around 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine powdered sugar, one Tablespoon of milk and vanilla and stir until smooth. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. Pour over the hot cake right when it comes out of the oven. Let set.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. You can add 1/3 cup of chopped pecans to the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture if you would like.
