ADDENDUM:
Okay, boys and girls, I just made this cake again for the first time in about eight years… and it’s ah-mazing. If possible, eat it warm, straight out of the oven. (After you frost it.) Yeah, it’s good.
Honey Bun Cake
1 yellow cake mix
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup oil
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
4 Tablespoons milk
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
8 oz sour cream
Mix cake mix, oil, eggs, and sour cream by hand, about 50 strokes.
Put half the batter in 9 x 13 pan.
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon and spread over entire cake. Spread the rest of the batter on top of this.
Use a knife to make swirls in the cake.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 40 minutes.
Blend powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract and spread on warm cake.

There’s no water or milk in the cake? Just making sure before I make this. Thank you so much if you could respond.

Connie, it’s been years since I’ve made it, but it comes out really, you know… that word nobody likes. With the oil, 4 T milk, and the 4 eggs, it’s just right.

Also, there’s the 8 ounces of sour cream.

I don’t like using mixes. What would be the cake ingredients instead of mix?

You just need a simple yellow cake recipe. Off the top of my head you’ll need flour, sugar, vanilla, milk or water, oil and a couple of whole eggs. Look in one of your cookbooks or hit up Google for a homemade yellow cake. White cake would work the same.

Thank you, Wanda, you were far more helpful than I was. I was likely feeling rushed and didn’t research an answer.

I think the oven temperature on this cake is too low, I made it following the full directions and it was still very undone. What can you tell me about this?

Judy, I can’t tell you much at all. This was one of my first posts when I started writing again, and I haven’t made the cake since then, many years later. I would suggest that if you like the recipe, bump the heat up a little and see what happens. Enjoy!
