I have only been reading blogs since this past summer. Susan from Between Naps on the Porch, Kathy from Life in the Slow Lane, Gordon Gossip, Pioneer Woman, Christy from Southern Plate, Designs by Gollum were some I was passionate about. Then Kathy from Life in the Slow Lane designed this wonderful place for me to make incredible friends, share treasured recipes and stories, and visit with the most amazing folks on this earth. Today I want to share a recipe I found on Southern Plate. I have made it a couple of times, including today and it is wonderful. This is Lane, Christy from Southern Plate's nephew. That smile made me know this was a cake I had to bake.
I made this in 3 disposable pie pans, hey it was all I had. My sweet husband delivered them this morning. He took a pan to the local post office, my pharmacy, and a local antique mall. I was able to warm the tummies of those special folks. Here is the recipe:Honey Bun Cake
1 box plain yellow cake mix
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
Filling
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Glaze
2 cups confectioner’s sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 t. vanilla
Mix all ingredients together for cake. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Grease and Flour 13×9 inch pan. Spread batter into pan.
Mix dry filling ingredients. Sprinkle over cake batter. Drizzle honey over those. Pull a knife through batter to swirl filling into it. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until tests done.
Sift confectioners sugar. Mix all glaze ingredients together. Drizzle over warm cake.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Yes, we have fish in the pond. They multiply like crazy and are getting BIG. I just posted about today's big freeze (you saw the Christmas Eve post).
The pond is amazing this time. I had to go out and make a hole in the ice...come take a look.
Another great recipe...that sounds delicious!!! :)

ReplyDeleteYour's looks amazing. Just like a giant honey bun!
Hi! Just found your blog from Dinner at Christina's. It's COLD in Chicago this weekend, in the single digits with lots of snow on the ground, so I've been in the kitchen a lot!
ReplyDeleteYour sweet rolls look amazing! I'm going to start reading through some of your recipes and I'll be back.
oh my. what an amazing cake! those wrapped honey buns that come in a box are pretty good, but this would leave those in the dust! all that cinnamon, that gooey glaze. gadzooks. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that looks so yummy and so sweet to make and deliver around town. I need to move to Georgia I think. We still don't have water and now our landlords hot water heater is on the blink so no showers tonight. My patience is tested. But hopefully tomorrow we will thaw out some. Thanks btw for coming by and visiting my blog yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Sunday is Blessed,
Sherry
