This is a hit every time I make this! About every 2-3 weeks, the work crew asks me when I'm going to make one and bring it in for them! LOL It doesn't last a day when I do.
Honeybun Cake
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cake mixture:
1 yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1 C sour cream
3/4 C vegetable oil
1/4 t cinnamon (approximately)
1/2 C sugar
Filling mixture:
1 C brown sugar (I used 1 C sugar + 1 T molasses and mixed well)
3 t (very heaping) cinnamon
1 C chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
Icing mixture:
6 T milk
2 C powdered sugar
1 t vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325º. Grease (very, very well) a 13" x 9" cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine by hand the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well. If you have lumps, that's okay. Mix the filling mixture in a small bowl and set aside.
Spread half of the cake mixture in the bottom of the cake pan. Sprinkle half the filling mixture over the cake mixture. Make sure you get mixture over the entire cake. Then, place the rest of the cake mixture in the cake pan and top with the remaining filling mixture. Using a knife, swirl the cake mixtures until they're well blended.
Bake at 325º for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Approximately 5 minutes before cake is finished, mix the icing mixture together in a small bowl. Immediately upon removing cake from oven, pour icing over the hot cake. In order to cover the whole cake, you might need to tilt the cake. Let cool and eat warm or cold. It's supposedly better the next day, but I've yet to make one and have any left to eat the next day!
