Ingredients:
- 1 package of strawberry-flavored cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, and milk. Stir until well mixed.
- Prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter in the pan.
- Gently pour the remaining cake batter over the top, and carefully spread it to cover the cinnamon-sugar layer.
- Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Use a knife to swirl the sugar mixture through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- While the cake is cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
- Once the cake has cooled for about 20-30 minutes, drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy the heavenly combination of strawberries and cinnamon in this exquisite Honey Bun Cake.
