Honey Bun Cake
Servings – 12 Prep Time – 20 Minutes Cook Time – 35 minutes
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
2/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 8 ounce container sour cream
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Heat oven to 350°. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
In large bowl, beat cake mix, oil, eggs and sour cream with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread half of the batter in pan.
In small bowl, stir together brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over batter in pan. Carefully pour and spread remaining batter evenly over pecan mixture.
Bake 28 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven to cooling rack. In another small bowl, stir powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until thin enough to spread. If powdered sugar mixture is too stiff to spread, add additional milk 1/4 teaspoon at a time. Prick entire surface of warm cake with fork. Carefully pour and spread powdered sugar mixture over warm cake. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Store loosely covered.
Notes:
When frosting a warm cake, spread in just one direction, using long strokes. Using a back-and-forth motion often causes the top layer of cake to come off, leaving crumbs in the frosting.
Brown sugar should alway be measured by packing or firmly pressing into a dry measuring cup. What you’re doing is pressing out any pockets of air that get trapped between the sticky grains of sugar.
