Description

Indulge in the delightful flavors of Honey Bun Cake—a moist and buttery cake with swirls of cinnamon-sugar throughout and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or any occasion, this cake captures the essence of a classic honey bun in an easy-to-make recipe.


Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix

¾ cup oil (vegetable or canola)

4 eggs

8 oz sour cream

1 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

2 cups powdered sugar

4 tbsp milk

1 tbsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, oil, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix by hand until well combined.
  3. Layer the Cake: Pour half of the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the batter and swirl it gently with a knife. Pour the remaining batter on top.
  4. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Glaze the Cake: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. The cake can also be frozen for up to three months.

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy warm or at room temperature, and consider pairing with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
