This is a really good sweet cake! Tastes just like the honey bun sweet rolls. I did use a Bundt pan and used only half the glaze,brushed it on with a pastry brush evenly over sides and top. otherwise followed the recipe as written My family couldn't leave it alone! Good with coffee or a glass of milk!

I made this per the instuctions and it turned out wonderful! So moist! It only lasted a couple of days, but I think it got even better the longer it sat. Next time I am going to use clear vanilla, as regular vanilla made my icing a little dark. However, that didn't seem to bother anyone else who ate this cake with reckless abandon.

I never would have guessed a cake mix cake would taste just like a honey bun, especially with simple ingredients. I also baked in a bundt pan with sugar sprinkled in the pan in the middle of the cake, and on top (which would end up being the bottom when you flipped it over). I was out of powdered sugar so I used extra cream cheese frosting I had in the fridge. mmmmmm...mmmmm thank you for this recipe!

I have made this now 4x in the last 2 months. I took one to work and 5 people demanded the recipe, which I referred them to on AR. I know 1 co-worker made it 2x in 2 days! Great cake.

Very good and tasty. Followed recipe just the way it was written. The recipe did say a 9x13 pan but all the pictures showed a bundt cake pan and that is what I used still came out tasting great. Will try a different pan next time.

Very good. Only modifications I made were to bake it in a bundt pan for 45-50 minutes, and I used less glaze than was called for. Very good and will definitely make this again!

I thought this cake was okay....It didn't really taste like a honey bun to me, more like a boxed cake with an extra sweet icing. Will probably not make again unless I need a quick dessert and I have all the ingredients on hand.

This is totally AWESOME! Got in a hurry & added the struesel to the batter, but that made the cinnamon permeate the entire batter-which is a good thing. Smelled wonderful cooking, made the glaze w/half & half & poked shallow holes in the top w/a fork. So tender when I put the knife in to cut-was the star of the evening at the neighbor's dinner~~will definetely be making this again-thanks for the recipe!

Everyone loves this cake! However I only gave it 4 stars because it is way too sweet with all that frosting. If you cut the frosting ingredients in 1/2 it is just right. And, I can never get it to swirl because of the brown sugar mixture, but that doesn't matter me.

Whatever you do, DO NOT take this as a general cake recipe. I made cupcakes and they sank under the weight of the sugar, BUT it just meant that I couldn't give them away and had all of them to myself! YUM!

This was very good. I'm so glad because I made them for my sister's baby shower as a take home favor. I made two batches in 10x17" pans one with raisins the other without. It took about 20 minutes to bake. I gave the bars in individual bags with a note about celebrating a bun in the oven and a hot bun picture.

This is a very tasty cake, though I made some alterations after reading comments: I used my Kitchenaid to mix the eggs, oil and sour cream, then I stirred in the cake mix. (I find it is too easy to over-mix when the eggs and wet ingredients aren't fully blended)I also added 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup melted butter to the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. I used a lightly greased bundt pan and placed 1/3 of the batter in the bottom followed by half of the cinnamon mixture; another 1/3 cake batter and then the secong half of the cinnamon mixture - I swirled this somewhat with a wooden skewer, then I topped it off with the remainder of the batter. I baked it for 45-50 minutes and allowed it to settle for three minutes before I removed it from the pan. I came out easily and looked great. I served it as is - no need for any glaze or frosting when the cinnamon is integrated well into the cake. This is the first cake that I made with a mix in which the cake mix is undetectable in my opinion. The addition of the butter and graham crackers made this a more complex and richer cake, so I was able to serve this up in smaller pieces which were every bit as satisfying as a larger piece of cake. I was a little hesitant to serve a box cake at a social gathering, but it was literally devoured before any of the other desserts. This is definitaly a winner!

WOW. This is my new go-to breakfast, brunch, and afternoon cup-of-coffee cake. I will never make a coffee-cake again! DEFINITELY make it in a fluted bundt pan - beautiful, EASY, and so tempting!! Definite new favorite.
