Good as far as taste, but not the best in terms of overall results. I made the cake without any ingredient changes at all, used all 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 T cinnamon, full fat sour cream, all the oil, etc. The only difference was that I made it in a 12 cup Bundt pan which was well-greased and floured. It took 55 minutes to cook in the Bundt pan and it rose nicely but the sugar filling sunk in several places, with the result that the top stuck in the pan even after allowing for cooling time. I had to piece it together and cover the wounds with a different, thicker and whiter glaze (1 cup confectioners sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla powder, 4 TEASPOONS half and half, drizzled on while cake was still warm, so it could flow down the sides a little). It tasted nice, moist but not wet, but it really is more of a breakfast/brunch cake. I will try again in the Bundt pan with same ingredients and a slightly different technique. If it still sticks, I probably won't make it again, as there are more predictable cakes out there.

Easy and delicious and yes, very very sweet, so be warned if that's not what you're looking for. My husband and I love it, however. I've made it for four birthdays and once for fun. It always goes fast!

This was pretty sweet. I used a bundt pan. All we tasted was brown sugar and sweetness. No real flavors outside of sugar... This was more like a glorified coffe cake, and not even as good.

I never thought I'd be saying something was "Too Sweet" - but finally, I found something that was. The husband thought it was spectacular, however.

This is a classic cake recipe that has been around for many years. It has stood the test of time simply because it's that good, that easy, and makes your kitchen smell wonderful too. A tried and true cake that I know good cooks will still be making for years to come.

My father-in-law loves Honey Buns so when I came across this recipe I had to make it for him. It was a huge hit! I made a small change though, I exchanged the sour cream for 1 cup of vanilla pudding to cut back on the fat. It came out so wonderfully moist. The recipe is so easy and the results are awesome. I highly recommend it.

great coffee cake! Used bundt pan and made repeated layers of batter and cinnamon sugar. 4 eggs tastes eggy out of the oven, but was perfect the next day. Will make this for Christmas morning as it gets better the next day.

I wanted to try this recipe out, before my job Christmas party, because I'd planned on making it for our potluck. Well...its a winner. I'm sure everyone will love it as much as me!

My husband rated this cake. He said it was better than a Honey Bun. I took his word for it since I haven't ever had one. I took half of it to work and it didn't last past the first break!

Only change I made was I used olive oil instead of veggie oil because I was out of veggie oil. I also made it in a regular metal 9X13 pan. The kids loved it. I can't wait to try it in a bundt pan.

This cake is absolutely the best! My family is STILL raving and asking when I am going to make another one! I followed the recipe exactly but I used 2/3 tub of vanilla frosting instead of making the frosting. This recipe is a keeper!
