Servings: 9

Reminiscent of a cinnamon roll and sporting a name based on vending machine fare, this Honey Bun Cake definitely doesn’t taste like it came from a convenience store. But it is sweet!

Ingredients

2¼ cups flour

1½ cups sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 cup sour cream

¼ cup vegetable oil

1 stick butter, softened

1 tablespoon vanilla

2 eggs

2 egg yolks

1 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon (plus extra for dusting)

2 cups powdered sugar

3 tablespoons milk

2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 9-by-9-inch baking pan.
Mix the softened butter, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla and eggs until well combined.
Add flour, sugar and baking powder.
Pour ⅓ of the batter in the bottom of the baking pan and spread.
In a small bowl, mix the filling ingredients and then sprinkle over the cake batter in the baking pan.
Add in the remaining batter carefully.
Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top has begun browning and a knife comes out clean.
Cool cake completely.
Combine glaze ingredients and pour over cooled cake. Dust with cinnamon.
