Instructions
Honey Bun Cake
- Pre-heat oven to 350F and line a 9 x 13 inches baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil and sour cream. Mix everything with a whisk until combined.
- Separately, in a small bowl combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and set aside.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the baking dish, leveling it with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture on top, covering the cake batter evenly.
- Add ¼ cup warm milk into the remaining batter and mix well. This thins out the batter and makes it easier to pour.
- Pour the remaining cake batter over the sugar. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, covering the sugar entirely.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden-brown in color.
Icing
- Prepare the icing a few minutes before removing the cake from the oven. In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and honey.
- Mix the ingredients well into a smooth, lump-free paste.
- Pour the icing over the hot cake as soon as it’s removed from the oven. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Let cool down for 20-30 minutes, cut into single servings and enjoy!
