Quick Honey Bun Cake

By mitzzy

What is more fitting for Valentine’s Day than a quick and easy Honey Bun Cake. These have been around a long time and use a cake mix with some pantry ingredients for a golden cake that slices like coffee cake but tastes like a cinnamon bun. If you prefer a scratch cake, choose any one of the streusel recipe cakes I have but if you’re in a hurry or just like the notion of a mix once in awhile, this ummmm....takes the cake.

Ingredients

• 1 box Yellow Cake mix
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted unsalted butter)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• Finishing Touches
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat ovent o 350 .

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Generously spray a 9 by 13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray and place on baking sheet. In a mixer bowl, blend the cake mix with the oil, eggs, sour cream. Spoon batter into pan.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with the pecans and cinnamon. Spread this over the cake batter.

Bake 45-50 minutes or until edges are golden brown. (If cake appears to brown too quickly, lower temperature to 325 F and continue baking until done - it will spring back a bit when touched)

For the Finishing Touches, in a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar with the milk and vanilla until you have a thin glaze. Drizzle over cake. Cool completely before serving. (This is good cold too)
