Ingredients for Your Sweet Adventure

Grab the following ingredients, and prepare yourself for a whirlwind of flavor:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Time to Bake: Instructions

Now that you have all the ingredients, let’s roll up our sleeves and get to it!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. You want your cake to slide right out!
  2. In a large bowl, mix the yellow cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil until smooth and creamy. Yes, it’s okay to taste the batter (post-licking spoons are necessary)!
  3. Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if using). Sprinkle half of this mixture over the cake batter.
  5. Pour the remaining batter over the sugar mixture, and then top with the rest of the sugar mix. It’s a sugar sandwich and you’re the chef!
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell like a slice of heaven.
  7. While the cake is baking, stir together powdered sugar, milk, and melted butter to create a glaze. Once your cake is done and cooled a bit, drizzle that sweet goodness all over!

And there you have it! A Honey Bun Cake that will have everyone singing your praises. Grab a piece, a fork, and let the indulgence begin!
