Honey Bun Cake

This cake features a moist, buttery yellow base with a sweet cinnamon swirl, baked to perfection and crowned with a smooth vanilla glaze. It's a delightful dessert that pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee for a sweet indulgence at any time of day!



Ingredients


Cake

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) butter yellow cake mix

  • 1 container (8 ounces) sour cream

  • 4 large eggs, room temperature

  • ¾ cup (163.5 g) vegetable oil

  • ½ cup water


Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Glaze

  • 2 cups (250 g) confectioners' sugar

  • ¼ cup (61 g) whole milk

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract


Instructions


  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

  • To a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir to combine. Set aside.

  • To a small bowl, add brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir to thoroughly combine. Set aside.

  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

  • Pour the remaining batter over the brown sugar mixture. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the batter and sugar mixture together, creating a marble pattern. Be careful not to overmix.

  • Bake for 38-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

  • While the cake cools slightly, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla.

  • While the cake is still slightly warm, evenly pour glaze on the cake. Let the cake cool before serving.


Keep stirring, keep savoring, and always let your taste buds lead the way!
