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)
