Honey Bun Cake Recipe

Here we are once more, with a sweet little treat for me (and you of course). It feels like ages since I tried a sweet dish. That’s why today I  thought of trying a rather special recipe. I’ve never tried this recipe before and I was excited about it. And on my first attempt, I did a pretty “ok” job. It was a little overcooked but no one noticed that.

    In a medium-sized bowl, mix the dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and the chopped pecans. Then set these toppings aside for later.
  • Step 3:
    Grease a baking pan (9×13 inches) and pour the prepared cake batter into it. Now sprinkle the prepared toppings over the batter and swirl them into it by using a butter knife. Just to push them in the batter a little.
  • Step 4:
    Bake the cake on the center rack for 30 to 35 minutes. Or until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean.
    Meanwhile prepare the glaze by combining the powdered sugar,  melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and the milk in a separate bowl and whisk them until smooth.
  • Step 5:
    When the cake is ready, take it out and immediately pour the icing over the hot cake. Then tightly cover the pan by using foil and let it cool completely.
    When cool, cut it into 12 pieces and serve.
    Note: You can reheat the cake in a microwave if you prefer it warm.
