This cake tastes just like the name suggests - like a honey bun. It has been served to hundreds of people and everyone has said how much they liked it. It is a sweet cake and not for those that are watching their weight. Tastes wonderful if served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Time 1h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
¾ cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Spoon the other half of the batter into the cake pan, covering the brown sugar and cinnamon. Twirl the cake with a butter knife or icing knife until it looks like a honey bun (or whatever design you want to make).

  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, as this incorporates air and creates a smooth batter.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent curdling.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  • Use a spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
  • Decorate with additional honey buns, chopped nuts, or sprinkles, if desired.
