Ingredients
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
- Top with the remaining cake batter, spreading it carefully to cover the brown sugar layer.
- Using a knife or a toothpick, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the honey over low heat until warm.
- Once the cake is out of the oven, poke several holes in the top using a toothpick or a fork.
- Drizzle the warm honey over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar.
- Slice and serve, enjoying every bite of this irresistible honey bun cake.
