The amazing hunny bun

So my photography skills may be wanting and they certainly don't do justice to most of these desserts I make. But trust me, this one was heavenly! Brian and I inhaled it which is saying a lot since Brian is picky with his sweets. It's technically a coffee cake but I would make it for any old occasion...and maybe hide in the closet and eat it myself.


Hunny Bun Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
1 C sour cream
3/4 veg oil
4 large eggs

Filling:
1/3 C honey
1/3 C packed light brown sugar
1 T ground cinnamon
1/2 C finely chopped pecans (optional)

Sugar Glaze:
2 C confectioners sugar-sifted
1/3 C milk
1 t. pure vanilla extract

1) Grease 9x13 baking pan and heat oven to 350.
2) Mix cake mix, sour cream, oil and eggs in mixing bowl. Blend on low one minute, scrape down sides, blend on medium for 2 minutes.
3) Pour batter into pan
4) Add the filling. Drizzle honey on top of the batter then sprinkle on brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Swirl with dinner knife till slightly blended. Place pan in oven.
5)Bake for 38-40 minutes or till golden brown.
6) For glaze, mix confectioners sugar, milk and vanilla till well combined. Pour over hot cake in pan.

*Okay some notes- I didn't follow the measurements for the filling. I just eyeballed it and sprinkled as much as I wanted, much easier than measuring it all out. I also didn't add the pecans b/c Brian doesn't like them but I think it would be awesome with pecans. I also made this in a cupcake form and added the filling individually to EACH cupcake and swirled it with a toothpick. Then I added a cinnamon cream cheese frosting, it was a ton of work but reminded me of a cinnabon mixed with a yellow cake.
