Honey Bun Treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Cake
01 -
1 pack of yellow cake mix (Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines works great)
02 -
8 ounces of cream cheese (softened or swap with 8 ounces sour cream)
03 -
4 eggs
04 -
2/3 of a cup of oil
→ Cinnamon Filling
05 -
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
06 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
→ Glaze
07 -
2 cups powdered sugar
08 -
About 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk
09 -
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F, and grease up a 9x13 pan.
02 -
Use a hand mixer to whip up the softened cream cheese for a half-minute. Toss in eggs and keep mixing until smooth, no lumps left.
03 -
Add the boxed cake mix and oil, and carefully mix until there aren’t any big streaks of flour left. Don’t overdo it.
04 -
Pour half the batter into your greased pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mix evenly across the top. Spread the rest of the batter on top, covering the filling.
05 -
Let it bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean. If the top looks like it’s browning too fast, loosely cover it with foil after 20 minutes.
06 -
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Use a fork or a toothpick to poke holes all over the top.
07 -
Whisk the glaze ingredients together. Pour half of it on the still-warm cake, letting it seep into those holes. After 30 minutes, drizzle the rest of the glaze over the cake.
# Notes:
01 -
Wait until the cake is fully cooled before cutting into it.
02 -
Feel free to use sour cream instead of cream cheese.
