Honeybun cake

This cake never fails to get rave reviews!

Sharing at Nifty Thrifty Tuesday
Ingredients
1 C packed brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
2 C confectioner’s sugar
4 eggs
6 Tbsp milk, divided
1/3 C chopped pecans (optional)
8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 C vegetable oil
1 18-oz box of yellow cake mix (pudding in mix)

Add cake mix, oil, eggs, and sour cream to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. Spread half of the batter into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. In a smaller bowl, add the brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon; stir to mix.

Sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Spread the remaining batter over the pecan mixture, then top with remaining cinnamon/brown sugar mixture. Swirl through top lightly with tip of a knife to blend a bit. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.

In a bowl, stir the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until it is thin enough to spread. Take a fork and make holes all over the top of the cake so the topping will go to the middle of the cake. this will make the cake moister. While cake is still hot, pour the sugar glaze over top.

Let cool for 1 hour.
